Effects of walnut shell extract on lipid metabolism and serum metabolomics in rats with high-fat diet-induced obesity
Rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, walnut shells have lipid-lowering, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties; however, their impact on blood lipids has not been widely documented. We investigated the effects of walnut shell extract (WSE) on the lipid metabolism and serum metabolomics of rats with obesity. The results showed that WSE reduced the body weight and serum TC、TG and LDL-c levels and increased the HDL-c levels in obese rats (p < 0.05). It also decreased the activities of liver enzymes (ALT and AST), and modulated the levels of major lipid metabolism markers, downregulating LEP and FAS and upregulating ADP, PPAR-γ, and HSL. Additionally, serum metabolomic profiling was used to identify 29 differential metabolites, four of which were most significantly correlated with glycolipid metabolism. These results suggest that the potential mechanism of action of WSE in the treatment of hyperlipidemia is related to its regulatory effects on glycolipid metabolic pathways.
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.
