  • We investigated diet supplementation with shiitake mushroom fruiting bodies on biochemical and histological changes in hypercholesterolemic rats. Six-wk old female Sprague-Dawley albino rats were divided into three groups of 10 rats each. A diet containing 5% Lentinus edodes fruiting bodies given to hypercholesterolemic rats reduced plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total lipid, phospholipids, and the LDL/high-density lipoprotein ratio by 34.33, 53.21, 75.00, 34.66, 25.73, and 71.43%, respectively. Feeding mushroom also significantly reduced body weight in hypercholesterolemic rats. However, it had no detrimental effects on plasma albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, glucose, total protein, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, inorganic phosphate, magnesium, or enzyme profiles. Feeding mushroom increased total lipid and cholesterol excretion in feces. The plasma lipoprotein fraction, separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, indicated that L. edodes significantly reduced plasma ${\beta}$ and pre-${\beta}$-lipoprotein but increased ${\alpha}$-lipoprotein. A histological study of hepatic cells by conventional hematoxylin-eosin and oil red-O staining showed normal findings for mushroom-fed hypercholesterolemic rats. These results suggest that shiitake mushrooms could be recommended as a natural cholesterol lowering substance in the diet.

  • 황기열수추출물(WEH)과 홍국 70% 에탄올추출물(EEB) 및 Monascus pilosus 액침배양액(LBK)을 동결건조한 등량 혼합물을 일반 베이스소스에 0.225% 혼합한 황기홍국소스(HBS)에 침지한 계육의 식이가 고지방-고콜레스테롤 병행식이 흰쥐의 체중, 장기중량, 혈청지질 함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험군은 정상군(NC), 고지방-고콜레스테롤 대조군(HFC), 고지방-고콜레스테롤 식이에 베이스소스를 처리한 계육을 15% 첨가한 식이군(HFC-BS) 및 고지방-고콜레스테롤 식이에 황기홍국소스를 처리한 계육을 15% 첨가한 식이군(HFC-HBS)으로 구분하여(5 마리/군) 5주간 사육하였다. 식이섭취량은 HFC-HBS군이 HFC 및 HFCBS군에 비하여 높았으나 식이효율과 사육후의 체중은 낮아 체중감소효과가 확인되었다. ALT 및 AST의 활성도 정상군에는 미치지 못하나 HFC군 및 HFC-BS군에 비하여 현저한 감소를 보였다. HFC-HBS군은 HFC-BS군에 비하여 혈청 triglyceride 함량은 34.06%, total cholesterol 함량은 6.28% 및 LDL-cholesterol 함량은 31.00%가 감소하였으며 HDL-cholesterol 함량은 1.72배 증가되었고 동맥경화지수는 2.52배 감소하였다. 간 조직의 총 지질, 중성지질 및 총콜레스테롤 함량도 HFC-HBS군이 HFC-BS군에 비하여 각각 9.53%, 5.25% 및 22.20%가 감소되었다. NC군은 정상적인 간 조직구조를 나타낸 반면 HFC군은 거의 모든 간세포가 multiple micro vesicles 형태의 지방을 함유하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 HFC-BS군에서는 HFC군과 비교해 볼 때 소적형 지방축적은 감소되었으나 염증세포와 쿠퍼세포가 활성화된 모습을 보인 반면 HFC-HBS군은 HFC-BS군과 비교해 볼 때 간 실질세포 내 지방들은 아주 작은 포말형으로 나타나며 정상적인 간 실질세포의 형태가 잘 나타나 고지방-고콜레스테롤 식이로 인한 간세포 손상을 크게 완화시킨 것으로 사료된다.

  • The aim of this study is to determine the anti-obesity effects of genistein and exercise, separately and in combination, in mice. Fifty male C57BL/6J mice were divided into 5 treatment groups: normal diet (ND), high fat diet (HD), high fat diet with exercise (HD+Ex), high fat diet with 0.2% genistein (HD+G), high fat diet with 0.2% genistein, and exercise (HD+G+Ex). They were allowed free access to feed and water, and exercised mice engaged in swimming on a regular basis for 12 weeks. Genistein supplemented mice gained less weight, had lower energy intake, better lipid profiles, and lower leptin than the HD mice. Furthermore, when genistein was combined with exercise (HD+G+Ex) the effects were even greater. HD, HD+Ex, and HD+G mice exhibited increased hepatic CPT-1 mRNA expression. Therefore, genistein and exercise has anti-obesity effects, as shown by changes in body weight, fat accumulation, energy intake, and leptin levels.

  • Objective: As one of the most important metabolic organs, the liver plays vital roles in modulating the lipid metabolism. This study was to compare miRNA expression profiles of the Large White liver between two different developmental periods and to identify candidate miRNAs for lipid metabolism. Methods: Eight liver samples were collected from White Large of 70-day fetus (P70) and of 70-day piglets (D70) (with 4 biological repeats at each development period) to construct sRNA libraries. Then the eight prepared sRNA libraries were sequenced using Illumina next-generation sequencing technology on HiSeq 2500 platform. Results: As a result, we obtained 346 known and 187 novel miRNAs. Compared with the D70, 55 down- and 61 up-regulated miRNAs were shown to be significantly differentially expressed (DE). Gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis indicated that these DE miRNAs were mainly involved in growth, development and diverse metabolic processes. They were predicted to regulate lipid metabolism through adipocytokine signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase, AMP-activated protein kinase, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B, and Notch signaling pathway. The four most abundantly expressed miRNAs were miR-122, miR-26a and miR-30a-5p (miR-122 only in P70), which play important roles in lipid metabolism. Integration analysis (details of mRNAs sequencing data were shown in another unpublished paper) revealed that many target genes of the DE miRNAs (miR-181b, miR-145-5p, miR-199a-5p, and miR-98) might be critical regulators in lipid metabolic process, including acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4, ATP-binding casette A4, and stearyl-CoA desaturase. Thus, these miRNAs were the promising candidates for lipid metabolism. Conclusion: Our study provides the main differences in the Large White at miRNA level between two different developmental stages. It supplies a valuable database for the further function and mechanism elucidation of miRNAs in porcine liver development and lipid metabolism.

  • 본 연구에서는 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 마우스를 이용하여 비지 (SCR)와 Monascus pilosus로 발효비지의 항비만 및 항산화 효능을 조사하였다. 마우스는 비지와 발효비지를 2% (wt/wt)가 되도록 고지방식이에 첨가하여 8주간 사육하였다. 비지 및 발효비지 투여군은 고지방식이 대조군과 비교할 때 모두 유의한 수준의 체중 감량, 체중 증가율, 부고환주변의 지방 함량이 낮았다. 8주째의 초기체중에 대한 체중증가율은 정상식이군 19.54%, 고지방식이군 45.40%, 비지군 33.39% 그리고 발효비지군 31.42%로 발효비지군에서 가장 낮았다. 또한 혈청의 triglyceride, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 함량 그리고 간 조직의 trigrlyceride 함량도 고지방식이로 증가된 수준에서 크게 줄어들었다. 한편 비지와 발효비지의 급여는 glutathione 함량을 높이고, 지질의 과산화, 혈청의 aminotransferase 및 xanthine oxidase의 활성을 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase의 활성은 비지 및 발효비지군 모두에서 고지방식이군에 비하여 높았다. 마지막으로, 비지군과 비교할 때 발효비지군은 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 마우스에서 비정상적인 비만 관련 생화학적 지표들을 좀 더 효과적으로 정상식이군의 지표들로 회복시켜주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과, 고지방 식이로 인한 체중 증가와 복부지방의 축적 및 고지혈증과 간 조직의 지방 축적현상이 M. pilosus로 발효시킨 비지의 2% 식이로 항비만 효과와 동시에 혈액 및 간 조직 지방의 함량을 저하시켜 고지혈증으로 인해 야기될 수 있는 심혈관계 질환을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 활성산소 생성계의 활성 억제와 활성산소 소거계 활성 증가를 유도함으로서 비만 상태에서 나타날 수 있는 과잉의 활성산소에 의한 간 조직 손상을 예방 혹은 경감시켜줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: A high-fat diet (HFD) induces obesity, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and cancer, while a calorie-restricted diet can extend life span by reducing the risk of these diseases. It is known that health effects of diet are partially conveyed through epigenetic mechanism including DNA methylation. In this study, we investigated the genome-wide hepatic DNA methylation to identify the epigenetic effects of HFD-induced obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed control diet (CD), calorie-restricted control diet (CRCD), or HFD for 16 weeks (after one week of acclimation to the control diet). Food intake, body weight, and liver weight were measured. Hepatic triacylglycerol and cholesterol levels were determined using enzymatic colorimetric methods. Changes in genome-wide DNA methylation were determined by a DNA methylation microarray method combined with methylated DNA immunoprecipitation. The level of transcription of individual genes was measured by real-time PCR. RESULTS: The DNA methylation statuses of genes in biological networks related to lipid metabolism and hepatic steatosis were influenced by HFD-induced obesity. In HFD group, a proinflammatory Casp1 (Caspase 1) gene had hypomethylated CpG sites at the 1.5-kb upstream region of its transcription start site (TSS), and its mRNA level was higher compared with that in CD group. Additionally, an energy metabolism-associated gene Ndufb9 (NADH dehydrogenase 1 beta subcomplex 9) in HFD group had hypermethylated CpG sites at the 2.6-kb downstream region of its TSS, and its mRNA level was lower compared with that in CRCD group. CONCLUSIONS: HFD alters DNA methylation profiles in genes associated with liver lipid metabolism and hepatic steatosis. The methylation statuses of Casp1 and Ndufb9 were particularly influenced by the HFD. The expression of these genes in HFD differed significantly compared with CD and CRCD, respectively, suggesting that the expressions of Casp1 and Ndufb9 in liver were regulated by their methylation statuses.

  • 고지방 고콜레스테롤 식이를 급여한 마우스에서 황칠나무 잎 추출물이 체내 지질 상태에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 본 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 황칠나무 추출물을 투여한 마우스의 체중이 모두 control군에 비해 감소하였다. 혈장과 간장의 TG, TC 및 혈장 LDL-C 농도도 control군에 비해 유의적으로(P<0.05) 감소하였으며, 혈장 HDL-C의 농도는 control군이 normal군보다 유의적으로 낮아졌고 DA-200군, DE-200군은 normal군의 수준까지 증가하였다(P<0.05). 간장, 비장, 고환 지방의 상대 무게와 혈장 인슐린 농도는 normal군에 비해 control군이 매우 높았으나 황칠나무 잎 추출물을 투여했을 때는 추출방법에 상관없이 농도에 비례적으로 인슐린 농도가 감소되었다. 그리고 모든 황칠나무 투여군의 간 조직 AST, ALT 활성과 MDA 농도 및 SOD 활성도 변화되었는데 AST, ALT 활성과 MDA 농도는 control군에 비해 낮아졌고 SOD 활성은 control군에 비해 증가하였다(P<0.05). 특히 DE-200군의 ALT 활성 및 DA-200군, DE-200군의 MDA 농도가 normal군의 수준까지 감소되었다(P<0.05). 또한 hematoxylin과 eosin 염색을 통해 황칠나무 잎 추출물이 간세포의 지질 침착 정도를 개선하는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 통해 황칠나무 잎 추출물은 추출용매와 추출물의 농도에 따라 약간의 차이는 있으나 모두 고지방 고콜레스테롤 식이를 급여한 마우스의 체내 지질 상태의 개선에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.

  • The anti-obesity effects of a hot water extract from wasabi (Wasabia japonica Matsum.) leaves (WLE), without its specific pungent constituents, such as allyl-isothiocyanate, were investigated in high fat-diet induced mice. C57J/BL mice were fed a high-fat diet (control group) or a high-fat diet supplemented with 5% WLE (WLE group). Physical parameters and blood profiles were determined. Gene expression associated with lipid metabolism in liver and white adipose tissue were analyzed. After 120 days of feeding, significantly lower body weight gain, liver weight and epididymal white adipose tissue weight was observed in the WLE group compared to the control group. In liver gene expression within the WLE group, PPAR${\alpha}$ was significantly enhanced and SREBP-1c was significantly suppressed. Subsequent downstream genes controlled by these regulators were significantly suppressed. In epididymal white adipose tissue of the WLE group, expression of leptin, PPAR${\gamma}$, and C/EBP${\alpha}$ were significantly suppressed and adiponectin was significantly enhanced. Acox, related to fatty acid oxidization in adipocytes, was also enhanced. Our results demonstrate that the WLE dietary supplement induces mild suppression of obesity in a high-fat diet induced mice, possibly due to suppression of lipid accumulation in liver and white adipose tissue.
