In this study, maca root polysaccharides (MRPs) were prepared via hot water extraction, enzyme-assisted extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based UAE, and their physicochemical properties and biological activities were compared. The MRP obtained using DES-based UAE (MRP-DU) exhibited the highest yield (30.85%), oil-holding capacity (5.21 g/g), emulsifying capacity (50.58%), and emulsion stability (48.14%). Additionally, MRP-DU exhibited the highest antidiabetic and absorption-retarding effects on glucose and bile acid. These results suggest that MRP obtained using DES-based UAE have high application potential as functional food materials and could also serve as antidiabetic and cholesterol-lowering agents.","PeriodicalId":49084,"journal":{"name":"Cyta-Journal of Food","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136210420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The weight loss and the increase in blood glucose were alleviated in the LP2 and LP3 groups. Insulin, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase significantly increased in the LP3 group of mice compared with the MG group. Additionally, the pathological sections showed that the lesions in the LP3 group were less severe than those in the MG group.

Dihydromyricetin (DMY), the most abundant natural flavonoid in rattan tea, has proven anti-atherogenic effects, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the effects of DMY on LDLR and PCSK9. The results showed DMY promoted LDLR protein and mRNA expression and increased LDL uptake in HepG2 cells. DMY inhibited intracellular PCSK9 protein and mRNA expression. And it also significantly reduced PCSK9 levels in the cell culture medium. Furthermore, DMY inhibited the expression of PCSK9 through the liver nuclear transcription factor 1 A (HNF1A) and increased the protein expression of LDLR. Taken together, our results support the idea that DMY regulates LDL-c metabolism through PCSK9/LDLR signaling. This study reveals the potential mechanism of DMY’s anti-atherogenic effect and provides a theoretical basis for dietary DMY supplementation.","PeriodicalId":49084,"journal":{"name":"Cyta-Journal of Food","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135395700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty male 3-month-old C57BL/6J mice were randomized into three groups: mice with normal diet + vehicle (distilled water) (Control), mice with High-fat diet + vehicle (HFD), mice with HFD + Simvastatin (HFD+S). HFD+S group were treated with simvastatin (10 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks. The pathology of OA was assessed by histomorphology analyses, immunohistochemistry, micro-computed tomography, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Histomorphological analysis revealed that OA was significantly exacerbated by the HFD-induced obesity and markedly alleviated by the simvastatin intervention. In details, simvastatin ameliorated the abnormal metabolic status and cartilage lesions, significantly increased aggrecan and collagen-II expression and decreased the expression of MMP-13 and leptin in cartilage. Furthermore, the results of micro-CT analysis revealed that the HFD+S group exhibited higher BMD, BV/TV, and Tb.N values but a lower Tb.Sp value than that of the HFD group. Serum glucose, leptin, and IL-1β concentrations were significantly correlated with the OARSI score.

The results of the emulsion’s creaming index, flow behaviour index, zeta value, and particle size indicated that these parameters decreased when the MCC concentration increased. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the higher MCC concentration resulted in a smoother surface In general, the MCC concentration increased, the particle size, hygroscopicity, solubility, water content, and water activity of the double emulsion powder decreased. Double emulsion powder containing 2% MCC presented the highest level of antioxidant activity and was mostly stable after storage for 56 days. Before and after drying, transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis of the morphological characteristics of the liquid emulsion showed that the concentration of 2% MCC in the emulsion could form a W/O/W double emulsion structure.
