Abstract
The potential health-promoting effects of two edible seaweeds, Undaria pinnatifida sporophyll (UPS) and Gracilaria verrucosa (GV), were investigated by using in vitro and in vivo models. Water extracts of UPS and GV inhibited lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by downregulating adipogenesis-related genes and stimulated lipolysis in mature adipocytes. In C57BL/6 mice, supplementation with UPS and GV powders ameliorated diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation, resulting in lighter subcutaneous adipose tissue and decreased macrophage markers (F4/80, Cd11c, Cd206) and proinflammatory genes (Tnf-α, Il-1β, Il-6, Ccl2) in gonadal adipose tissue. Liver weight and hepatic triglyceride levels were also significantly lowered. Taken together, UPS and GV supplementation effectively prevented diet-induced obesity and chronic inflammation making them promising dietary ingredients for managing obesity and its associated disorders.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
