The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of chromium histidinate (CrHis) against experimentally induced type II diabetes and on chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) in serum, liver, and kidney of diabetic rats. The male Wistar rats (n = 60, 8 weeks old) were divided into four groups. Group I received a standard diet (12% of calories as fat); group II were fed standard diet and received CrHis (110 mcg CrHis/kg body weight per day); group III received a high-fat diet (HFD; 40% of calories as fat) for 2 weeks and then were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) on day 14 (STZ, 40 mg/kg i.p.; HFD/STZ); group IV were treated as group III (HFD/STZ) but supplemented with 110 mcg CrHis/kg body weight per day. The mineral concentrations in the serum and tissue were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Compared to the HFD/STZ group, CrHis significantly increased body weight and reduced blood glucose in diabetic rats (p < 0.001). Concentrations of Cr, Zn, Se, and Mn in serum, liver, and kidney of the diabetic rats were significantly lower than in the control rats (p < 0.0001). In contrast, higher Fe and Cu levels were found in serum and tissues from diabetic versus the non-diabetic rats (p < 0.001). Chromium histidinate supplementation increased serum, liver, and kidney concentrations of Cr and Zn both in diabetic and non-diabetic rats (p < 0.001). Chromium supplementation increased Mn and Se levels in diabetic rats (p < 0.001); however, it decreased Cu levels in STZ-treated group (p < 0.001). Chromium histidinate supplementation did not affect Fe levels in both groups (p > 0.05). The results of the present study conclude that supplementing Cr to the diet of diabetic rats influences serum and tissue Cr, Zn, Se, Mn, and Cu concentrations.  相似文献

We investigated whether maternal over-nutrition during pregnancy and lactation affects the offspring’s lipid metabolism at weaning by assessing liver lipid metabolic gene expressions and analysing its mechanisms on the development of metabolic abnormalities. Female Sprague–Dawley rats were fed with standard chow diet (CON) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks, and then continued feeding during gestation and lactation. The offspring whose dams were fed with HFD had a lower birth weight but an increased body weight with impaired glucose tolerance, higher serum cholesterol, and hepatic steatosis at weaning. Microarray analyses showed that there were 120 genes differently expressed between the two groups. We further verified the results by qRT-PCR. Significant increase of the lipogenesis (Me1, Scd1) gene expression was found in HFD (P<0.05), and up-regulated expression of genes (PPAR-α, Cpt1α, Ehhadh) involved in β-oxidation was also observed (P<0.05), but the Acsl3 gene was down-regulated (P<0.05). Maternal over-nutrition could not only primarily induce lipogenesis, but also promote lipolysis through an oxidation pathway as compensation, eventually leading to an increased body weight, impaired glucose tolerance, elevated serum cholesterol and hepatic steatosis at weaning. This finding may provide some evidence for a healthy maternal diet in order to reduce the risk of metabolic diseases in the early life of the offspring.  相似文献

BackgroundPine nut oil (PNO), a standardized and well-defined extract of Pinus koraiensis (Korean pine), has beneficial effects on wound healing, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. However, the explanation for the mechanism by which PNO reduces body fat remains uncertain. We performed a protein-protein interaction network (PPIN) analysis to explore the genes associated with pinolenic acid using the MEDILINE database from PubChem and PubMed. It was concluded through the PPIN analysis that PNO was involved in a neutral lipid biosynthetic process.PurposeThis study evaluated the effects of PNO predicted by the network analysis of fat accumulation in chronic obesity mouse models established by feeding a high fat diet (HFD) to C57BL/6J mice and explored potential mechanisms.MethodsHFD mice were fed only HFD or HFD with PNO at 822 and 1644 mg/kg. After an oral administration of 7 weeks, several body weight and body fat-related parameters were examined, including the following: adipose weight, adipocyte size, serum lipid profiles, adipocyte expression of PPAR-γ, sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1c, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and leptin.ResultsWe showed that oral administration of PNO to HFD mice reduces body fat weight, fat in tissue, white adipose tissue weight, and adipocyte size. The serum cholesterol was improved in the HFD mice treated with PNO. Additionally, PNO has significantly attenuated the HFD-induced changes in the adipose tissue expression of PPAR-γ, SREBP-1c, LPL, and leptin.ConclusionsThe findings from this study based on the PPIN analysis suggest that PNO has potential as drug to reduce body fat through fat regulatory mechanisms by PPAR-γ and SREBP-1c.  相似文献

To clarify the effects of natural dietary components on the metabolic consequences of obesity, we examined the effects of yerba mate extract Ilex paraguariensis on both central and peripheral inflammatory effects of diet-induced obesity and correlated the hypothalamic tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α level with adipose depot weight. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: a control group (CTL) fed with chow diet, a second group fed with chow diet plus yerba mate extract (CTL+E), a third group fed with a high-fat diet rich in saturated fatty acids (HFD) and a fourth group fed with HFD plus yerba mate extract (HFD+E). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, colorimetric method and treatment by gavage were utilized as materials and methods. The HFD groups showed a significant increase in food intake (kcal), body weight, adipose tissue and leptin level in comparison to CTL and CTL+E. HFD leads to increase of both central and peripheral inflammatory effects, and deregulation of insulin pathway. In addition, yerba mate extract intake blunted the proinflammatory effects of diet-induced obesity in rats by reducing the phosphorylation of hypothalamic IKK and NFκBp65 expression and increasing the protein levels of IκBα, the expression of adiponectin receptor-1 and consequently the amount of IRS-2. Moreover, the increase in interleukin (IL)-6 levels in the liver and muscle and of the IL-10/TNF-α ratio in groups that received yerba mate extract showed the anti-inflammatory effects of this natural substance. Taken together, our data suggest that the use of yerba mate extract may be useful for reducing low-grade obesity-associated inflammation.  相似文献

Nutritional restriction early in life followed by catch-up growth has been associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome in adulthood. To elucidate whether altered gut colonization underlies the mechanisms responsible of this predisposition gut microbiome was studied before or afterwards catch-up growth. Offspring of dams fed ad libitum (C) or undernourished during pregnancy and suckling (U), were weaned onto high-fat diet (HFD) for 22 weeks (CHF and UHF, respectively) or continued on their diet. HF-feeding induced glucose intolerance (P<.05), insulin resistance (P<.001), and white adipose tissue inflammation (P<.001) in UHF rats compared to CHF. Analyses of gut microbial composition before catch-up growth revealed reduced F/B ratio and significant expansion of the mucolytic genera Akkermansia (P<.05) and Desulfovibrio (P<.05) in U pups. Although relative abundance of Akkermansia remained elevated to adulthood in U rats, HFD normalized its levels to C and CHF. Food-restriction increased intestinal permeability causing disorganization on the tight-junction proteins of colonic epithelium, Zonula Occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin, and reducing the mucus thickness layer in U adult rats. The levels of ZO-1 and occludin were not recovered in U rats after HF-feeding. This event was correlated with increased circulating levels of bacterial lipopolysaccharides in both U and UHF adult rats. Even more, serum lipopolysaccharides were already elevated in U rats compared to C group (P<.001) at weaning. Thus, gut dysbiosis and chronic endotoxemia observed in U rats, even before catch-up growth, might anticipate a pro-inflammatory milieu promoting metabolic diseases when fed hyperlipidic diets.  相似文献

Conditions in which glucose metabolism is impaired due to insulin resistance are associated with memory impairment. It was hypothesized that supplemental chromium (Cr) may alleviate insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes and consequently improve memory acquisition, depending upon its source and level. In a complete randomized design experiment, male Wistar rats (n=60; weighing 200-220 g) were fed either normal (8%, normal diet (ND)) or high-fat (40%, high-fat diet (HFD)) diet and supplemented with Cr as either chromium-glycinate (CrGly) or chromium-acetate (CrAc) at doses of 0, 40, or 80 μg/kg body weight (BW) via drinking water from 8 to 20 weeks of age. Feeding HFD induced type 2 diabetes, as reflected by greater glucose/insulin ratio (2.98 vs. 2.74) comparing to feeding ND. Moreover, HFD rats had greater BW (314 vs. 279 g) and less serum (53 vs. 68 μg/L) and brain (14 vs. 24 ng/g) Cr concentrations than ND rats. High-fat diet caused a 32% reduction in expressions of glucose transporters 1 and 3 (GLUTs) in brain tissue and a 27% reduction in mean percentage time spent in the target quadrant and a 38% increase in spatial memory acquisition phase (SMAP) compared with ND. Compared with supplemental Cr as CrAc, CrGly was more effective to ameliorate response variables (i.e., restoration of tissue Cr concentration, enhancement of cerebral GLUTs expressions, and reduction of the glucose/insulin ratio and SMAP) in a dose-response manner, especially in rats fed HFD. Supplemental Cr as CrGly may have therapeutic potential to enhance insulin action and alleviate memory acquisition in a dose-dependent manner, through restoring tissue Cr reserve and enhancing cerebral GLUTs expressions.  相似文献

Bioactive components from bitter melon (BM) have been reported to improve glucose metabolism in vivo, but definitive studies on efficacy and mechanism of action are lacking. We sought to investigate the effects of BM bioactives on body weight, muscle lipid content and insulin signaling in mice fed a high-fat diet and on insulin signaling in L6 myotubes. Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into low-fat diet control (LFD), high-fat diet (HFD) and HFD plus BM (BM) groups. Body weight, body composition, plasma glucose, leptin, insulin and muscle lipid profile were determined over 12 weeks. Insulin signaling was determined in the mouse muscle taken at end of study and in L6 myotubes exposed to the extract. Body weight, plasma glucose, insulin, leptin levels and HOMA-IR values were significantly lower in the BM-fed HFD group when compared to the HFD group. BM supplementation significantly increased IRS-2, IR β, PI 3K and GLUT4 protein abundance in skeletal muscle, as well as phosphorylation of IRS-1, Akt1 and Akt2 when compared with HFD (P<.05 and P<.01). BM also significantly reduced muscle lipid content in the HFD mice. BM extract greatly increased glucose uptake and enhanced insulin signaling in L6 myotubes. This study shows that BM bioactives reduced body weight, improved glucose metabolism and enhanced skeletal muscle insulin signaling. A contributing mechanism to the enhanced insulin signaling may be associated with the reduction in skeletal muscle lipid content. Nutritional supplementation with this extract, if validated for human studies, may offer an adjunctive therapy for diabetes.  相似文献

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of renal failure in the United States. The obese Zucker rat (OZR; fa/fa) is a commonly used model of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS), and of the nephropathy and renal oxidative stress commonly seen in these disorders. Heterozygous lean Zucker rats (LZRs; fa/+) are susceptible to high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obesity and MetS. The present study was designed to investigate whether 4‐hydroxy‐2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐N‐oxyl (TEMPOL), a membrane‐permeable radical scavenger, could alleviate the renal effects of MetS in OZR and LZR fed a HFD, which resembles the typical “Western” diet. OZR and LZR were fed a HFD (OZR‐HFD and LZR‐HFD) or regular diet (OZR‐RD and LZR‐RD) and allowed free access to drinking water or water containing 1 mmol/l TEMPOL for 10 weeks. When compared to OZR‐RD animals, OZR‐HFD animals exhibited significantly higher levels of total renal cortical reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, plasma lipids, insulin, C‐reactive protein, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and urinary albumin excretion (P < 0.05); these changes were accompanied by a significant decrease in plasma high‐density lipoprotein levels (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression levels of desmin, tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), nuclear factor κB (NFκB), and NAD(P)H oxidase‐1 (NOX‐1) were significantly higher in the renal cortical tissues of OZR‐HFD animals; NFκB p65 DNA binding activity as determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay was also significantly higher in these animals. The same trends were noted in LZR‐HFD animals. Our data demonstrate that TEMPOL may prove beneficial in treating the early stages of the nephropathy often associated with MetS.  相似文献

AimsThe present study evaluated a comparative and combined hepatoprotective effect of atorvastatin (AS) and ferulic acid (F) against high fat diet (HFD) induced oxidative stress in terms of hyperlipidemia, anti-oxidative status, lipid peroxidation and inflammation.Main methodsMale Swiss albino mice were given a diet containing high fat (H) (23.9% wt/wt), supplemented with AS (10 mg/kg) or F (100 mg/kg) and both (10 and 100 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. The control mice (C) were fed with normal diet.Key findingsThe H mice exhibited increased body weight; hyperlipidemia; serum level of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6); hepatic lipid profile; lipid accumulation; reactive oxygen species (ROS) of hepatocytes, lipid peroxidation and liver antioxidant capacity was decreased. Immunofluorescent and Western blot assay revealed activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. The addition of F or AS and both in the diet significantly counteracted HFD induced body weight gain; hyperlipidemia; TNF-α, IL-6; hepatic lipid profile; fatty infiltration; NF-κB signaling pathway; ROS; lipid peroxidation and moreover elevated levels of hepatic antioxidant enzymes activity were observed.SignificanceSimultaneous treatment with AS, F and their combination protected against HFD induced weight gain and oxidative stress. The protection may be attributed to the hypolipidemic and free radical scavenging activity of AS or F and their combination. This study illustrates that AS and F have relatively similar hypolipidemic, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory actions and the AS + F combination along with HFD has shown outstanding effects as compared to other treated groups.  相似文献

The positive regulation of insulin pathway in skeletal muscle results in increased activity of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a positive effector of mRNA translation rate and protein synthesis. Studies that assess the activity of this protein in response to chronic high-fat diet (HFD) are scarce and controversial, and to date, there are no studies evaluating the mTOR pathway in infants exposed to gestational and postgestational HFD. This study investigated the effect of maternal HFD on skeletal muscle morphology and on phosphorylation of proteins that comprise the intracellular mTOR signaling pathway in soleus muscle of offspring at weaning. For this purpose, 10 days prior to conception, 39 female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to either control diet (CTL) or HFD. Later, rats were distributed into four groups according to gestational and postpregnancy diet: CTL/CTL (n=10), CTL/HF (n=11), HF/HF (n=10) and HF/CTL (n=8). After 21 days of lactation, pups were killed, and blood samples and soleus and gastrocnemius skeletal muscle were collected for analysis. We observed an influence of maternal postgestational diet, rather than gestational diet, in promoting an obese phenotype, characterized by body fat accumulation, insulin resistance and high serum leptin, glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol levels (P<.05). We have also detected alterations on skeletal muscle morphology — with reduced myofiber density — and impairment on S6 kinase 1 and 4E binding protein-1 phosphorylation (P<.05). These results emphasize the importance of maternal diet during lactation on muscle morphology and on physiological adaptations of infant rats.  相似文献

BackgroundCopper is an important regulator of lipid metabolism in mammals, as a cofactor of many enzymes and is involved in the lipolysis. Copper deficiency has been considered as a significant factor in human diseases related to abnormal lipid metabolism, while adding copper to the diet seems to be the simplest and most effective way to prevent copper deficiency.AimsThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary copper level on lipid metabolism in Rex Rabbits.MethodsA total of 120 90-d-old Rex Rabbits were randomly allotted into three treatments, with 40 replicates (20 males, 20 females) in each treatment (1 rabbit per replicate). The diets included 1) control (8.4 mg/kg), normal-copper diet (39.1 mg/kg), 3) high-copper diet (67.5 mg/kg). The trial including a one-week adaptation period and a five-week experimental period.ResultThe results showed that copper (39.1 mg/kg) diet increased average daily feed intake (ADFI) (P<0.05, N = 34), and tended to increase the final body weight (FBW) (P = 0.0556, N = 34). Moreover, dietary copper addition (39.1 and 67.5 mg/kg) significantly increased the foreleg and hindleg weight (P<0.05, N = 8), and decreased the weight of Perirenal fat and the concentration of triglycerides (TG) in the liver (P<0.05, N = 8). The concentration of triglycerides (TG), epinephrine (EPI), and glucagon (GC) in serum were obviously higher than that in control group (P<0.05, N = 8), and the concentration of insulin (INS), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in serum were significantly decreased (P<0.05, N = 8). The copper group (39.1 mg/kg) showed up-regulated gene expression levels of carnitine palmitoyl transferases (CPT-1 and CPT-2) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-α) in liver (P < 0.05, N = 8) and down-regulated gene expression levels of fatty acid synthase (FAS) and Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) (P < 0.05, N = 8). In skeletal muscle, CPT-1, CPT-2, PPAR-α, fatty acid transport protein (FATP), fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) levels were significantly up-regulated by copper treatment (P < 0.05, N = 8). Rex Rabbits receiving copper addition had higher CPT-1, CPT-2, PPAR-a and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) mRNA levels in adipose tissue (P < 0.05, N = 8).ConclusionCopper diets promoted skeletal muscle growth and reduced fat accumulation by enhancing fatty acid oxidation, at the same time, dietary copper inhibited De novo lipogenesis in the liver. PPAR-α signaling in liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissues were involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism by copper.  相似文献

The nuclear factor (NF)-κB is a primary regulator of inflammatory responses and may be linked to pathology associated with obesity. We investigated the progression of NF-κB activity during a 12-week feeding period on a high-fat diet (HFD) or a low-fat diet (LFD) using NF-κB luciferase reporter mice. In vivo imaging of luciferase activity showed that NF-κB activity was higher in the HFD mice compared with LFD-fed mice. Thorax region of HFD females displayed fourfold higher activity compared with LFD females, while no such increase was evident in males. In male HFD mice, abdominal NF-κB activity was increased twofold compared with the LFD males, while females had unchanged NF-κB activity in the abdomen by HFD. HFD males, but not females, exhibited evident glucose intolerance during the study. In conclusion, HFD increased NF-κB activity in both female and male mice. However, HFD differentially increased activity in males and females. The moderate increase in abdomen of male mice may be linked to glucose intolerance.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of short-term high fat feeding on the inflammatory response in polymicrobial sepsis. Male C57BL/6 mice at 6 weeks of age were randomized to a high-fat diet (HFD) (60% kcal fat) or control diet (CD) (16% kcal fat) for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks of feeding, sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and animals were monitored for survival. In a separate experiment, after 3 weeks of feeding mice underwent CLP and were sacrificed at various time points thereafter. Tissue was collected for biochemical studies. Mice fed a HFD gained more weight and had a greater fat mass compared to CD-fed mice. Mice on a HFD had a lower probability of survival and more severe lung injury compared with CD-fed mice following sepsis. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, an indicator of neutrophil infiltration, was increased in the lung and liver after CLP in HFD-fed mice compared with CD (P < 0.05). The plasma cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 were increased in both groups after CLP, however, TNF-α and IL-6 levels were lower in HFD mice at 3 h after CLP compared with CD and consistent with lung, but not liver, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression. Leptin levels were higher in HFD-fed mice at 18 h after sepsis compared to baseline levels (P < 0.05). Polymicrobial sepsis increased hepatic nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation in HFD-fed mice after CLP vs. CD-fed mice. Short duration high fat feeding increases mortality and organ injury following polymicrobial sepsis. These effects correspond to changes in NF-κB.  相似文献

A high-fat diet (HFD) impairs insulin binding and signalling and may contribute to the development of insulin resistance. In addition, in vitro studies have shown that alterations in plasma membrane cholesterol influence ligand binding and downstream signalling for several receptor-tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including the insulin receptor. Using an ex vivo approach, we explored the effects of a HFD on insulin binding and signalling in mouse liver and relate these to observed changes in plasma membrane cholesterol. Mice fed a HFD demonstrated decreased insulin signalling compared to mice fed a normal chow diet (ND), indicated by a 3-fold decrease in insulin binding (P < 0.001) and a similar decrease in insulin receptor phosphorylation (~2.5-fold; P < 0.0001). Interestingly, we also observed a marked decrease in the cholesterol content of liver plasma membranes in the HFD fed mice (P < 0.0001). These effects of the HFD were found to be ameliorated by atorvastatin treatment (P < 0.0001). However, in ND mice, atorvastatin had no influence on membrane cholesterol content or insulin binding and signalling. The influence of membrane cholesterol on insulin binding and signalling was also corroborated in HepG2 cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the effects of a HFD and atorvastatin treatment on changes in plasma membrane cholesterol content and the consequent effects on insulin binding and signalling. Collectively, these findings suggest that changes in membrane cholesterol content could be an important underlying reason for the long-known effects of a HFD on the development of insulin resistance.  相似文献

A high-fat diet (HFD) has been recognized as a risk factor for diseases such as dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, and osteoporosis. However, studies analyzing gene expression after HFD in bone are rare. That prompted us to analyze the expression of selected genes in bone of 4-week-old diabetes-prone B(io)B(reeding) rats. Two breeding pairs were fed a HFD (+10 % tallow) or were fed a normal diet (ND; Ssniff R-Z) before mating and afterward during pregnancy. After the birth of progeny, parents continued to be given HFD or ND until the progeny was weaned (3 weeks). Thereafter, offspring were weaned and were fed the same food as their parents up to an age of 4 weeks. Body weight was measured at an age of 4 weeks, and subsequently 13 HFD rats and 13 ND rats were killed and the tibial bone was harvested to analyze the expression of 53 genes in bone. All rats fed HFD were significantly heavier than rats fed ND after 3 and 4 weeks. The diet also influenced the expression of genes in bone. There were significant differences in 20 out of 53 genes studied between rats fed HFD compared with rats fed ND. Four out of 20 had a lower and 17 out of 20 genes a higher expression in HFD rats, but differences in gene expression showed obvious differences between males and females. There were only two genes that were similarly different between males and females: Bmp4 and Atf4. Two genes, Foxg1 and Npy, were inversely expressed in males and females. It seems that the gene expression is differently regulated by diet during pregnancy and later in life between males and females. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that HFD also acts as an epigenetic factor in the development of offspring in utero.  相似文献
