However, its effects on hepatic cholesterol accumulation and related dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) <em>in vivo</em>, along with the underlying mechanisms and specific molecular targets, remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of IPPF on hepatic cholesterol accumulation to ameliorate MASLD and its potential mechanisms <em>in vivo</em>. Six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-cholesterol, high-fat diet and treated with different doses of IPPF <em>via</em> oral gavage for six weeks. IPPF intervention significantly reduced hepatic cholesterol levels and oxidative stress damage while increasing fecal cholesterol and bile acid excretion. Non-targeted metabolomics analysis revealed that IPPF primarily affected pathways related to ABC transporters and bile acid metabolism. IPPF intake upregulated the mRNA expression of <em>Abcg5</em>/<em>8</em> and <em>Cyp7a1</em> in the liver. Molecular docking, dynamics and Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) simulations demonstrated that IPPF binds strongly to ABCG5/8 and CYP7A1, forming stable complexes. Furthermore, cholesterol accumulation and MASLD in HepG2 cells induced by palmitic acid (PA) was alleviated by IPPF, but this effect was partly stopped when CYP7A1 or ABCG5/8 was inhibited. In conclusion, flaxseed-derived peptide IPPF targets CYP7A1 and ABCG5/8, promoting cholesterol conversion and excretion, thereby reducing hepatic cholesterol accumulation and offering a potential nutritional treatment for MASLD. IPPF can be used as a novel dietary cholesterol-lowering functional ingredient. This study provides a scientific basis and new perspective for the development of cholesterol-lowering functional foods and dietary supplements.</p>","PeriodicalId":77,"journal":{"name":"Food & Function","volume":" 7","pages":" 2808-2823"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143646736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six different cultivars from local and commercial apple samples were processed to obtain the phenolic compounds by ultrasonication of the peels using methanol as the solvent. The phenolic content was explored using the Folin–Ciocalteu assay and the quantification of 37 individual phenolic compounds was carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Cellular viability was determined by performing the MTT assay in Caco-2 cell cultures exposed to the phenolic extracts.

Isorhamnetin is a natural flavonoid found in a variety of plants, especially fruits such as buckthorn. The <em>in vivo</em> hyperuricemia ameliorating effect of isorhamnetin and the specific molecular mechanism were profoundly investigated using a hyperuricemia mouse model in this study. Results indicated that isorhamnetin showed a significant uric acid-lowering effect in mice. Isorhamnetin was able to reduce uric acid production by inhibiting XOD activity. Furthermore, it reduced the expression of GLUT9 to inhibit uric acid reabsorption and enhanced the expression of ABCG2, OAT1, and OAT3 to promote uric acid excretion. Metabolomics analysis revealed that gavage administration of isorhamnetin restored purine metabolism and riboflavin metabolism disorders and thus significantly alleviated hyperuricemia in mice. Furthermore, the alleviating effect of isorhamnetin on hyperuricemia-induced renal inflammation and its specific mechanism were explored through network pharmacology and molecular validation experiments. Network pharmacology predicted that seven targets were enriched in the PI3K/AKT pathway (CDK6, SYK, KDR, RELA, PIK3CG, IGF1R, and MCL1) and four targets were enriched in the NF-κB pathway (SYK, PARP1, PTGS2, and RELA). Western blot analysis validated that isorhamnetin inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT and down-regulated the expression of NF-κB p65. It indicated that isorhamnetin could inhibit the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway to reduce the levels of renal inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-β and IL-6) and ultimately ameliorate hyperuricemia-induced renal inflammation in mice. This study provides a comprehensive and strong theoretical basis for the application of isorhamnetin in the field of functional foods or dietary supplements to improve hyperuricemia.</p>","PeriodicalId":77,"journal":{"name":"Food & Function","volume":" 7","pages":" 2840-2856"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143661641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MR leads to the formation of a number of chemically different structures called Maillard reaction products (MRPs), which include early glycation products and advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

The aim of the present study is to characterize the MRPs formed during different heating times of soy proteins (SP) with glucose by analyzing the biochemical changes and to relate them to the functional changes, including binding to AGE receptors and stimulating immune cells. Our results demonstrated time-dependent differences in the biochemical characteristics of glycated SP compared with heated SP, which could be attributed to the different stages of MR and the diversity of MRPs. Moreover, the formation of AGEs over time was positively correlated with binding capacity to AGE receptors. Additionally, stimulating peripheral blood adherent monocytes with glycated SP resulted in increased gene expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α) when compared to non-glycated SP, suggesting that the formed AGEs bind to and activate receptors, such as RAGE.
