The macropores created from a uniform coating of spherical nanoparticles with rGO sheets impart high porosity and short diffusion passages, facilitating fast electrolyte flow and thereby enhancing mass transport capability.

It has been reported that APS exhibits a beneficial effect on obesity although the molecular mechanisms are not clearly elucidated. In current study, APS significantly reduced the increase of body weight in high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice. APS apparently ameliorated serum lipid profiles exhibiting an increase of high-density lipoprotein and a decrease of low-density lipoprotein. APS inhibited lipid deposition in liver and adipose tissues. Importantly, APS did not damage liver and kidney function in vivo. To explore if the beneficial effect of APS on obesity was derived from its effect on metabolism, metabolomics was applied. As expected, the metabolite profile of HFD mice was dramatically altered upon APS treatment. Among them, uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG), a glycometabolic intermediate that inhibits fatty acid production, was significantly upregulated by APS. KEGG analysis showed that the metabolites of APS-treated HFD mice were apparently enriched in biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids pathway. To further explore if APS altered metabolites impacted cellular biological functions, transcriptomics was performed. GO and KEGG analysis showed that the downregulated gene groups were mainly enriched in lipid metabolism. Furthermore, endothelial lipase (LIPG) responsible for the intracellular lipid production was among the significantly inhibited genes by APS. Above results highly hinted that inhibition of lipid deposition by APS may be closely related with UDPG and LIPG. As expected, LIPG level was greatly suppressed by APS in free fatty acid (FFA)-induced hepatocytes. Consistently, glycogen synthesis was increased, whereas lipogenesis was apparently suppressed by APS. Furthermore, UDPG treatment alone also inhibited LIPG expression and lipogenesis. We, for the first time, disclosed that APS inhibited lipogenesis in HFD-fed mice by suppressing LIPG via upregulation of UDPG, suggesting that APS may be explored as a clinical and translational candidate in preventing obesity and its related metabolic diseases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"7 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142587832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
