Abstract
Cyclocarya paliurus beverage (CPB), a traditional functional beverage widely consumed in China, has demonstrated hypoglycemic properties in folk medicine. However, its bioactive constituents and pharmacological mechanisms remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to systematically investigate the antidiabetic effects of CPB and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. The extraction process of CPB was optimized using Response Surface Methodology. Thirty-five compounds in CPB were identified by UPLC-Orbitrip-MS/MS way, and network pharmacology analysis revealed 84 potential therapeutic targets associated with T2DM. Six major bioactive compounds were quantitatively analyzed by HPLC method, and their potential targets were predicted via molecular docking. In vivo studies demonstrated that CPB treatment significantly manifested in reducing fasting blood glucose levels, improving serum lipid profiles (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C), and alleviating liver, kidney and pancreatic damage in T2DM mice. These research findings collectively suggested that CPB exerts therapeutic effects against T2DM, likely through a multi-component, multi-target mechanism.
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.
