- Abstract:
- ... It is well established that adipose tissue can both store and metabolize vitamin D. The active form of vitamin D, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], regulates adipocyte differentiation and inflammation, highlighting the multifaceted role that vitamin D plays in adipose tissue physiology. However, there is limited evidence regarding vitamin D regulation of mature adipocyte lipid metabolism. We h ...

- Abstract:
- ... To investigate the compounds present in wasabi leaves (Wasabia japonica Matsumura) that inhibit the adipocyte differentiation, activity‐guided fractionation was performed on these leaves. 5‐Hydroxyferulic acid methyl ester (1: 5‐HFA ester), one of the phenylpropanoids, was isolated from wasabi leaves as a compound that inhibits the adipocyte differentiation. Compound 1 suppressed the intracellular ...

The objective of this study was to test HMRLignan™, a purified form of 7-HMR, and the corresponding Picea abies extract (total extract P. abies; TEP) as dietary supplements on a background of a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome in mice and in the 3T3-L1 adipogenesis model. Mice, 3 weeks ...

This study evaluated diet-induced adiposity in genetically lean pigs and found that body weight and energy intake did not differ between controls and pigs fed the high-fat (HF) diet for three months. However, fat mass percentage, adipocyte size, concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), t ...

We hypothesize that a long period of pre-pregnancy maternal diet transition from a high-fat (HF) diet to a normal-fat (NF) diet effectively prevents offspring obesity, and this preventive effect is independent of maternal body weight change. In our study, female mice were ...

Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 1 (NFE2L1, also known as Nrf1), a CNC-bZIP protein, is a master regulator of the cellular adaptive response to stresses. To investigate the role of NFE2L1 in adipocytes, we bred a line of mice with adipocyte-specific Nfe2l1 knockout (Nfe2l1(f)-KO), and f ...

- Abstract:
- ... Some studies have shown that expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), a key regulator of adipogenesis, and of some adipocyte-specific genes or adipokines are expressed in hepatic steatosis, leading to the concept of ‘adipogenic hepatic steatosis’ or ‘hepatic adiposis.’ Most of these studies were conducted in genetic obese mouse models or after manipulation of gene ex ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a disorder characterized by unintended weight loss due to skeletal muscle wasting and adipose tissue loss. Although muscle atrophy in this condition has been well studied, the mechanisms underlying adipose tissue loss, which include browning, have not been investigated in detail. In this respect, though recent studies have shown that exosomes from cancer cells c ...

Observational studies have indicated that complement system-related molecules such as complement factor B (CfB) and other components are correlated with obesity and/or insulin resistance parameters. In this study, we investigated the role of adipocyte-derived CfB in adipose tissue metabolism.We investigated the e ...

- Abstract:
- ... Alternative splicing and alternative promoter usage have been shown to have an integral role in creating flexibility in the regulation of gene expression. Previous studies collectively showed that expression of the retinol binding protein 7 (Rbp7) gene was adipose tissue-specific across species. Nevertheless, alternative splicing and alternative promoter usage of the Rbp7 gene in adipose tissue an ...

To elucidate a potential protective role of SNTA in NASH, SNTA null mice we ...

- Abstract:
- ... Activating transcription factor 3 (Atf3) has been previously demonstrated to impact obesity and metabolism. However, a metabolic role of Atf3 in mice remains debatable. We investigated the role of Atf3 in mice and further investigated Atf3 expression as a therapeutic target for obesity and metabolic diseases. Atf3 knockout (KO) mice fed with a high fat diet (HFD) aggravated weight gain and impaire ...

- Abstract:
- ... Lipids and their cellular utilization are essential for life. Not only are lipids energy storage molecules, but their diverse structural and physical properties underlie various aspects of eukaryotic biology, such as membrane structure, signalling, and trafficking. In the ever-changing environment of cells, lipids, like other cellular components, are regularly recycled to uphold the housekeeping p ...

MicroRNA (miRNA) is an endogenous non-coding RNA that can play a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of mammalian preadipocyte differentiation. Previously, we identified that bta-miR-130a regulates milk fat biosynthesis by targeting PPARG mRNA. However, the role of mi ...

TRPV1 is present on many metabolically active tissues, making it a potentially relevant target for metabolic interventions. Insulin resistance and obesity, being the major components of metabolic syndrome, increase the risk for the development of cardiovascular disease, typ ...

- Abstract:
- ... We explored the potential of hesperidin and capsaicin, separately and in combination, to induce white adipose tissue (WAT) browning and to help body weight management in Western diet-fed rats. Adult male Wistar rats were fed for 8 weeks with Western diet and treated daily with hesperidin (100 mg/kg/day), capsaicin (4 mg/kg/day), hesperidin (100 mg/kg/day) + capsaicin (4 mg/kg/day), or the vehicle. ...

- Abstract:
- ... Melatonin treatment has been reported to be capable of ameliorating metabolic diabetes-related abnormalities but also to cause hypogonadism in rats. We investigated whether the combined treatment with melatonin and insulin can improve insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes during neonatal period and the repercussion of this treatment on the hy ...

- Abstract:
- ... The meat quality of local breed pigs is more tender and juicier than the imported varieties. The important reason is that the intramuscular fat content is high. Even through modest sequence conservation and evolution, the expression pattern and function of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) seem to be conserved. In spite of that, analysis of lncRNAs associated with intramuscular fat development remains ...

Easy isolation, lack of ethical issues, high proliferation, multi-lineage differentiation potential and immunomodulatory properties of umbilical cord (UC)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) make them a valuable tool in stem cell research. Recently, Wharton’s jelly (WJ) was proven as the best MSC source among various compartments of UC. However, it is still unclear whether or not Wharton’s jelly ...

- Abstract:
- ... The aim of this study was to elucidate the relative impact of three phenotypes often used to characterize obesity on perturbation of molecular pathways involved in obesity. The three obesity-related phenotypes are (1) body mass index (BMI), (2) amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SATa), and (3) amount of retroperitoneal adipose tissue (RPATa). Although it is generally accepted that increasing a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Context: Salicornia europaea (Amaranthaceae) (SE) has been shown to reduce obesity, but it remains a problem as a food supplement because of its high salt content (25–35% NaCl). Objectives: This study investigated the anti-obesity effects and mechanism of action of desalted SE powder (DSP). Materials and methods: Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 50) were divided into a normal control group (NC), a high-fa ...

- Abstract:
- ... Ageing is associated with redistribution of fat around the body and saturation of visceral adipose depots. Likewise, the presence of excess fat in obesity or during ageing places extra stress on visceral depots, resulting in chronic inflammation and increased senescence. This process can contribute to the establishment of the metabolic syndrome and accelerated ageing. Dietary restriction (DR) is k ...
