Abstract:
... The mitochondrial enzyme SIRT3 is an NAD⁺-dependent deacetylase important in cell metabolism, and a decline in its protein expression or activity has been linked with insulin resistance in obesity, ageing and type 2 diabetes. While studies in SIRT3 knockout mice have dramatically improved our understanding of the function of SIRT3, the impact of increasing SIRT3 levels remains under-examined. In t ...
... Sertoli cells are essential for spermatogenesis in the testicular seminiferous tubules by forming blood–testis barrier (BTB) and creating a unique microenvironment for spermatogenesis. Many lncRNAs have been reported to participate in spermatogenesis. However, the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Sertoli cells has rarely been examined. Herein, we found that a high-fat diet (HFD) decreased ...

We investigated whether metabolic alterations resulting from the maternal consumption of HFD are prevented by the addition of omega-3 (ɷ3) in the diet.Wistar rat dams were fed a control (C: 19% of lipids and ɷ6:ɷ3 = 12), HF (HF: 33% lipids ...
... Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) is associated with metabolic disturbances in the offspring. Fructose is a highly consumed lipogenic sugar; however, it is unknown whether skeletal muscle of maternal HFD offspring respond differentially to a fructose overload. Female Wistar rats received standard diet (STD: 9% fat) or isocaloric high-fat diet (HFD: 29% fat) during 8 weeks before mating until weaning. A ...

... Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major clinical problem because it can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) or lead to the transition from AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Oxidative stress, which involves the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays an important role in the development and exacerbation of I/R-induced kidney injury. However, we have previously reported that lec ...

Here, we investigate in the frontal cortex and hippocampus the potential involvement of cholinergic markers in brain alterations previously reported in rats with obesity induced by diet (DIO) after long-term exposure (17 weeks) to a high-fat diet (HFD) in comparison with animals fed with a standard diet (CHOW). The obesit ...
... There are significant injuries of pancreatic islets due to obesity and insulin resistance. Therefore, GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide might benefit the islet structural remodeling and its endocrine function in diet-induced obese mice. One-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were allotted into two dietary groups (n = 60/group) and fed for 16 weeks a control diet (C) or a high‒fat diet (HF). Then, ...

Results showed that P. acidilactici FZU106 ...
... Emerging evidence suggests that dietary d-mannose, enriched naturally in many plants and fruits, show benefits in patients with bacterial urinary tract infection, diabetes, and obesity. However, it is noteworthy that the physiological level of d-mannose in the blood is relatively low. Based on the study that d-mannose could be a safe and beneficial dietary supplement to obese, here phosphatidylati ...
... Polygonatum sibiricum is a traditional medicinal and dietary plant of the family Liliaceae.

Abstract:
... Brown seaweed is rich in polysaccharides including sulfated polysaccharides and alginate, both of which provide health benefits to the host but whose differences have not received sufficient attention. In this study, alginate from Undaria pinnatifida (UPA) and sulfated polysaccharides from U. pinnatifida (UPSP) were isolated, and their action was analyzed in high fat diet-fed mice. UPA and UPSP im ...
... Polystyrene nanoparticles (PS‐NPs) as an issue of global environmental concern, have been shown to induce hepatic toxicity via triggering oxidative injury and inflammation. Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is initiated when excessive lipid is accumulated in the liver and will proceed to liver fibrosis with repeatedly chronic liver injury. In this study, we examined whether intravenous inj ...
... PURPOSE: Pomegranate peels are rich in anthocyanins. The present study aimed to explore the beneficial effects of pomegranate peel anthocyanins (PPA) on obesity and gut microbiota in mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity.
