Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate its metabolic effects of Cissus sicyoides L. aqueous extract treatment in Wistar rats subjected to an intergenerational obesity model.
Methods: Male offspring (F1 generation) of female rats with monosodium glutamate-induced obesity (F0 generation) were classified as non-obese and obese in adulthood based on the Lee index, and were treated with an aqueous extract of C. sicyoides (8.91 mg/kg) for 28 days. Phenolic compounds in the extract were identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn. Metabolic parameters, including body mass, food and water intake, biochemical markers, and renal function, were evaluated.
Results: Treatment with C. sicyoides extract reduced glycemia and non-HDL cholesterol levels in obese rats. Additionally, decreases in body mass, Lee index, and relative liver weight were observed. A total of 11 phenolic compounds were identified, including flavonoids and phenolic acids.
Conclusions: The extract of C. sicyoides in an intergenerational obesity rat model showed reductions in glycemia, non-HDL cholesterol, and body weight, as well as modulation of hepatic parameters, suggesting its use as an adjuvant strategy in metabolic disorders.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine (JCIM) focuses on evidence concerning the efficacy and safety of complementary medical (CM) whole systems, practices, interventions and natural health products, including herbal and traditional medicines. The journal is edited by Ed Lui of the University of Western Ontario. Topics: -Quality, efficacy, and safety of natural health products, dietary supplements, traditional medicines and their synthetic duplicates -Efficacy and safety of complementary therapies -Evidence-based medicine and practice, including evidence of traditional use -Curriculum development, educational system and competency of complementary health programs -Methodologies on research and evaluation of traditional medicines and herbal products -Integrative medicine: basic and clinical research and practice -Innovation in CAM Curriculum -Educational Material Design
