Abstract
This study investigated the effects of Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharides (CPP) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by a high-fat diet in mice and its underlying mechanisms. Mice were divided into six groups: control, model, fenofibrate, and three CPP dosage groups (300, 200, 100 mg/kg). CPP reduced liver lipid accumulation, serum TC, TG, LDL-C, ALT, AST, MDA, IL-6, and TNF-α levels while increasing HDL-C, SOD, and GSH-Px levels (P < 0.05). Histopathological analysis confirmed decreased lipid deposition. Western blot showed CPP enhanced AMPK and ACC phosphorylation, while RT-PCR revealed reduced expression of SREBP1 and its target genes. In PA-induced HepG2 cells, CPP effects were reversed by AMPK inhibition. These findings demonstrate CPP’s potential to mitigate hepatocellular lipotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation in NAFLD through the AMPK/ACC/SREBP1 pathway, offering a promising therapeutic approach.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
