Additionally, blood GTP activity in experimental mice was significantly lower than in controls, demonstrating the inhibitory e#ects of SBLPP juice on development of fatty liver, which may otherwise be induced by a high-fat diet. Furthermore, expression of acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO), mediumchain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), and fatty acid beta-oxidization enzymes significantly increased in experimental mice. In vitro experiments showed that SBLPP juice suppressed pancreatic lipase activity in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC/* being ../ ppm. It was therefore suggested that, in mice fed a high-fat and SBLPP juice diet, gene expression of fatty acid beta-oxidation enzymes in the liver was enhanced, which increased the lipid metabolism and inhibited the pancreatic lipase activity, thus reducing lipid transportation to the body and increasing fecal lipid excretion. As a result, body fat deposition was inhibited.(Received Jun. ++, ,**1 ; Accepted Aug. 1, ,**1)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
