Abstract
We discovered that the phospholipids present in the internal organs of scallops (Patinopecten yessoensis), which are primarily composed of glycerophospholipids and ceramide 2-aminoethylphosphonate (CAEP), reduced the serum and liver cholesterol contents in mice. This study evaluated the effects of scallop CAEP on lipid metabolism by comparing it to sphingomyelin. The study involved feeding four-week-old male KK-Ay mice either a high-fat diet or a high-fat diet supplemented with 0.5 wt% each of CAEP and sphingomyelin for 35 days. We found that CAEP intake lowered the serum triacylglycerol content, partly via a reduction in the mRNA expression levels of fatty acid synthesis-related genes in the liver. Furthermore, the CAEP diet reduced the serum and liver cholesterol contents. This effect was partially mediated by the increase in fecal total sterol excretion. Thus, this study indicates CAEP will be employed as a health-promoting component to lower the body’s triacylglycerol and cholesterol contents.
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.
