Reduced tolerance of steatotic livers to ischemic injury is considered to correlate with impaired microcirculation. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of heat-shock preconditioning (HSPC) on microcirculatory failure after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in steatotic livers by means of intra-vital fluorescence microscopy. Obese Zucker rats were used. In the HS group, rats underwent whole-body hyperthermia followed by 60-min partial liver ischemia. In group IR, rats were exposed only to ischemia. Microcirculation parameters (sinusoidal perfusion rate, sinusoidal diameter, leukocyte-endothelial interaction) were significantly better preserved in the HS group than in the IR group. Liver enzymes, oxygenated glutathione/reduced glutathione (GSSG/GSH) ratio, and electron microscopy showed less damage in the HS group. A marked expression of heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) and heme oxygenase (HO-1) was found only in the livers of group HS. HSPC mitigated the I/R injury of steatotic livers by preventing post-ischemic failure of microcirculation. This beneficial effect was found to be associated with the induction of HSP72 and HO-1.
