Palmitoleic acid (PMA) has anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic activities. Here we tested whether these effects of PMA on glucose homeostasis liver inflammation, in mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD), are PPAR-α dependent. C57BL6 wild-type (WT) PPAR-α-knockout (KO) a standard (SD) or HFD for 12 weeks were treated after the 10th week oleic (OLA, 300 mg/kg b.w.) b.w. Steatosis induced by was associated inflammation only KO mice, as shown increased hepatic levels IL1-beta, IL-12, TNF-α; however,...

Abstract Probiotic supplementation arises as playing an immune-stimulatory role. High-intensity and -volume exercise can inhibit immune cell function, which threatens athletic performance recovery. We hypothesized that 30 days of probiotic could stabilize the system athletes preventing suppression after a marathon race. Twenty-seven male marathonists were double-blinded randomly into ( Bifidobacterium-animalis-subsp.-Lactis (10 × 10 9 ) Lactobacillus-Acidophilus + 5 g maltodextrin) placebo...

Doxorubicin (DX) is a chemotherapeutic drug that used in clinical practice promotes deleterious side effects non-tumor tissues such as adipose tissue. We showed DX leads to extensive damage tissue via disruption 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and PPAR-gamma signaling. Thus, we investigated whether co-treatment with the biguanide metformin (MET) could prevent of through activation AMPK The goal present study was verify adjuvant MET treatment subcutaneous (SAT)...
