RESUMO
The article analyzes the results of a set of biochemical indicators in the course of treatment with the combined use of rosuvastatin with quercetin in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) combined with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Changes in blood biochemical parameters have been identified and presented with MS, essential for revealing generalbiological mechanisms development and interrelationship between the components of MS and non-alcoholic fatty liver. The effect of an increase in free cholesterol and triglycerides and activation of freeradical oxidation of lipids followed by theaccumulation of oxidative stress products was noted. In the course of long-term hypolipidemic therapy (90 days), 86 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease on the background of metabolic syndrome were previously divided into 2 groups: a comparison group (45 patients), who weretreated with basic therapy - only rosuvastatin, the main group (41 patients) received quercetin together with rosuvastatin -40 mg 3 times a day, clinical and laboratory-instrumental examinations were carried out. On the 90th day of treatment, positive results in the functional state of the liver and lipid spectrum of the blood wereregistered in all patients. A more significant advantage of the therapeutic combination of rosuvastatin with quercetin was proved. The inclusion of quercetin contributed to reducing the intensity of oxidative stress and enhancing antioxidant protection activity, resultingin a decrease in apoptosis of hepatocytes (cytokeratin-18 level was 1.27 times decreased). The studies have shown the feasibility of combined use of quercetin with rosuvastatin for the prevention of the development and progression of metabolic disorders associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
