Lecithin promotes adipocyte differentiation and hepatic lipid accumulation.

چکیده
Lecithin is an essential biological component and widely used as a nutritional supplement for protecting cells from oxidation, increase fat burning and preventing cardiovascular disease. Lecithin contains fatty acids identified as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists. However, the role of lecithin in adipogenesis and lipogenesis remains elusive. 3T3-L1 cells and mouse primary preadipocytes were used to characterize the properties of lecithin related to adipogenesis and lipogenesis. We found that lecithin promoted adipocyte differentiation and differentiation-specific gene expression, and increased triglycerides and free fatty acid levels in the adipocytes. These effects are independent of the clonal expansion of 3T3-L1 cells and the upstream PPARgamma regulator, CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein beta. Furthermore, lecithin induced lipid accumulation in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Our data suggest that lecithin is involved in adipogenesis, lipogenesis and hepatic lipid accumulation and it is implicated in obesity and hepatic steatosis.

Background: Natural products have gained importance recently for the treatment of obesity and its complications, partly because of the side effects of modern drugs.Hence, we aimed to study and compare the effect of varying concentrations of Momordicacharantiaon adipogenesis and adipolysis using 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte cell lines. Methods: 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were procured from the National Ce...
متن کاملOleate promotes differentiation of chicken primary preadipocytes in vitro
In addition to providing energy and constituting cell membrane, fatty acids also play an important role in adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism. As an important member of monounsaturated fatty acids, oleate, together with other components, is widely used to induce chicken preadipocyte differentiation. However, it is not clear whether oleate alone can induce chicken preadipocyte differ...
متن کاملNew vinegar produced by tomato suppresses adipocyte differentiation and fat accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells and obese rat model.
There is an increasing surplus of tomatoes that are abandoned due to their failure to meet customer standards. Therefore, to allow both value additions and the effective reuse of surplus tomatoes, we developed tomato vinegar (TV) containing phytochemicals and evaluated its anti-obesity effects in vitro and in vivo. TV inhibited adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte and lipid accumula...
متن کاملA short bout of HFD promotes long-lasting hepatic lipid accumulation.
A short bout of high fat diet (HFD) impairs glucose tolerance and induces hepatic steatosis in mice. Here, we aimed to elaborate on long-lasting effects of short-term high fat feeding. As expected, one week of HFD significantly impaired glucose tolerance. Intriguingly, recovery feeding with a standard rodent diet for 8 weeks did not fully normalize glucose tolerance. In addition, mice exposed t...
متن کاملSmall Molecule-Induced Complement Factor D (Adipsin) Promotes Lipid Accumulation and Adipocyte Differentiation
Adipocytes are differentiated by various transcriptional cascades integrated on the master regulator, Pparγ. To discover new genes involved in adipocyte differentiation, preadipocytes were treated with three newly identified pro-adipogenic small molecules and GW7845 (a Pparγ agonist) for 24 hours and transcriptional profiling was analyzed. Four genes, Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ...
