Attenuation by a Vigna nakashimae extract of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in high-fat diet-fed mice

Abstract: A Vigna nakashimae (VN) extract has been shown to have antidiabetic and anti-obesity effects. However, the mechanism underlying the effect of a VN extract on hepatic inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated how a VN extract protects against the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A VN extract for 12 weeks reduced the body weight, serum metabolic parameters, cytokines, and hepatic steatosis in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. A … Show more

“…To understand the effects of blueberry and bifidobacteria on NAFLD, hepatic injury induced by high-fat diet is a well-established animal model for studying NAFLD [ 64 , 65 ]. To explore the detail molecular mechanisms of effects of blueberry and bifidobacteria on NAFLD model, sirtuins may be the best candidates for the purpose.…”

“…Frozen liver sections (5 μm) were stained for 10 min with 0.5% Oil Red O (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), washed, and then counterstained for 45 sec with Mayer's hematoxylin (Sigma-Aldrich), as previously described. 16 To determine hepatic collagen accumulation, deparaffinized liver sections were stained with Weigert's hematoxylin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 8 min, washed, restained with Sirius Red (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h, and washed. The sections were visualized under a BX51 light microscope (Olympus).…”

“…Mice were divided into three groups and fed for 16 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age with diets as follows: (1) normal diet (ND, 2018S, 3.1 kcal/g, Harlan Laboratories, Inc., Indianapolis, IN, USA) group; (2) high-fat diet (HFD, 45% fat, Research Diets, Inc., New Brunswick, NJ, USA) group; and (3) HFD with evogliptin (HFD + Evo) group. Based on previous studies [28,29], mice were dosed with Evo (250 mg kg −1 day −1 , Dong-A ST Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) daily in HFD chow. All mice were weighed weekly and sacrificed at 20 weeks of age.…”
