Abstract
The present study explored the anti-obesity effects of NET-2201 (Capsicum chinense L. cv.), a non-pungent cultivated variety of chili pepper, and its underlying molecular mechanism in high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Administration of 50 mg/kg NET-2201 significantly inhibited body weight (BW) gain and reduced adipose tissue weight in obese mice. NET-2201 caused improvement in the expression levels of genes associated with lipid metabolism in white adipose tissue (WAT) to near-normal levels. Furthermore, NET-2201 significantly increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) protein expressions in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Moreover, NET-2201 activated WAT browning by altering the expression levels of brown and beige adipocyte-selective genes, including UCP1, PGC-1α, and PR domain containing 16. Our results indicate that dietary NET-2201 mitigates BW gain by activating BAT and inducing WAT browning.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
