چکیده

Alcoholic fatty liver results from an impaired fatty acid catabolism due to blockade of PPARalpha and increased lipogenesis due to activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c. Because both oxidized fats (OF) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) have been demonstrated in rats to activate hepatic PPARalpha, we tested the hypothesis that these fats are able to prevent ethanol-induced triacylglycerol accumulation in the liver by upregulation of PPARalpha-responsive genes. Forty-eight male rats were assigned to 6 groups and fed isocaloric liquid diets containing either sunflower oil (SFO) as a control fat, OF prepared by heating of SFO, or CLA, in the presence and absence of ethanol, for 4 wk. Administration of ethanol lowered mRNA concentrations of PPARalpha and the PPARalpha-responsive genes medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, acyl-CoA oxidase, carnitine palmitoyl-CoA transferase I, and cytochrome P450 4A1 and increased triacylglycerol concentrations in the liver (P < 0.05). OF increased hepatic mRNA concentrations of PPARalpha-responsive genes and lowered hepatic triacylglycerol concentrations compared with SFO (P < 0.05) whereas CLA did not. Rats fed OF with ethanol had similar mRNA concentrations of PPARalpha-responsive genes and similar triacylglycerol concentrations in the liver as rats fed SFO or CLA without ethanol. In contrast, hepatic mRNA concentrations of SREBP-1c and fatty acid synthase were not altered by OF or CLA compared with SFO. This study shows that OF prevents an alcohol-induced triacylglycerol accumulation in rats possibly by upregulation of hepatic PPARalpha-responsive genes involved in oxidation of fatty acids, whereas CLA does not exert such an effect.

Tetradecylthioacetic acid prevents high fat diet induced adiposity and insulin resistance.

Tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) is a non-beta-oxidizable fatty acid analog, which potently regulates lipid homeostasis. Here we evaluate the ability of TTA to prevent diet-induced and genetically determined adiposity and insulin resistance. In Wistar rats fed a high fat diet, TTA administration completely prevented diet-induced insulin resistance and adiposity. In genetically obese Zucker (fa/f...

Origanum Majoranum Extract Modulates Gene Expression, Hepatic and Renal Changes in a Rat Model of Type 2 Diabetes

The present study was conducted to test the effect of Origanum Majoranum Extract (OME) of leaves on alterations induced in a model of type 2 diabetic rats. Adult male Wistar rats were fed high fat diet for 3 weeks and injected a single dose of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to induce type 2 diabetic rats. Diabetic rats were given aqueous extract of OME in a dose of 20 mg/kg orally ...

Yamabushitake mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) improved lipid metabolism in mice fed a high-fat diet.

The effects of dietary Yamabushitake mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) on lipid metabolism were examined. C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat diet containing hot-water extract (HW-E) and an ethanol extract (EtOH-E) of Yamabushitake mushroom. Administration of HW-E or EtOH-E with a high-fat diet for 28 d resulted in a significant decrease in body weight gain, fat weight, and serum and hepatic triacylg...

Chronic, in vivo, PPARalpha activation prevents lipid overload in rat liver induced by high fat feeding.

PURPOSE Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR's) are lipid sensors and when activated they modify gene expression of proteins regulating fatty acid (FA) metabolism in liver cells. The aim of the present study was to examine the in vivo effects of PPAR alpha and gamma activation combined with high fat diet (HFD) feeding on the lipid content and FA profile in the liver.
