Maqui (Aristotelia Chilensis) berry features a unique profile of anthocyanidins that includes high amounts delphinidin-3-O-sambubioside-5-O-glucoside and delphinidin-3-O-sambubioside has shown positive effects on fasting glucose insulin levels in humans murine models type 2 diabetes obesity. The molecular mechanisms underlying the impact maqui onset development obese phenotype resistance was investigated fat diet-induced mice supplemented with lyophilized berry. Maqui-dietary animals showed...
Scope The rosehip ( Rosa canina ) is a perennial shrub with reddish pseudofruit that has demonstrated antidiabetic, antiatherosclerotic, and antiobesogenic effects in rodent models but there low information about the molecular mechanisms underlying these on onset progression of diet‐induced obesity. Methods results Four‐week‐old C57BL/6J male mice are subjected to high‐fat diet (HFD)‐supplemented or not R. flesh for 18 weeks. indicated exerts preventive effect HFD‐induced obesity significant...
The liver is one of the first organs affected by accumulated ectopic lipids. Increased de novo lipogenesis and excessive triglyceride accumulation in are hallmarks nonalcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) strongly associated with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes. Maqui dietary supplemented diet-induced obese mice showed better response decreased weight gain. We previously described that these positive effects maqui partially due to an induction a brown-like phenotype subcutaneous white...
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic with severe metabolic consequences. Polyphenols are secondary metabolites in plants and the most abundant dietary antioxidants, which possess wide range of health effects. The relevant food sources fruit vegetables, red wine, black green tea, coffee, virgin olive oil, chocolate, as well nuts, seeds, herbs, spices. aim this work was to evaluate ability pure, isolated polyphenol supplementation counteract pernicious effects high-fat diet (HFD). Our results...
