Hypolipidemic mechanism of Pleurotus eryngii polysaccharides in high-fat diet-induced obese mice based on metabolomics

Abstract

ObjectiveIn this study, the structure of Pleurotus eryngii polysaccharides (PEPs) was characterized, and the mechanism of PEP on obesity and hyperlipidemia induced by high-fat diet was evaluated by metabonomic analysis.MethodsThe structure of PEPs were characterized by monosaccharide composition, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. In animal experiments, H&E staining was used to observe the morphological difference of epididymal adipose tissue of mice in each group. Ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-(QE) HFX -mass spectrometry (MS) was used to analyze the difference of metabolites in serum of mice in each group and the related metabolic pathways.ResultsThe PEPs contained nine monosaccharides: 1.05% fucose, 0.30% arabinose, 17.94% galactose, 53.49% glucose, 1.24% xylose, 23.32% mannose, 1.30% ribose, 0.21%galacturonic acid, and 1.17% glucuronic acid. The PEPs began to degrade at 251°C (T0), while the maximum thermal degradation rate temperature (Tm) appeared at 300°C. The results histopathological observation demonstrated that the PEPs had signifificant hypolipidemic activities. After PEPs intervention, the metabolic profile of mice changed significantly. A total of 29 different metabolites were selected as adjunctive therapy to PEPs, for treatment of obesity and hyperlipidemia-related complications caused by a high-fat diet. These metabolites include amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, choline, glycerol phospholipids, and other endogenous compounds, which can prevent and treat obesity and hyperlipidemia caused by a high-fat diet by regulating amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and changes in metabolic pathways such as that involved in the citric cycle (TCA cycle).ConclusionsThe presented results indicate that PEPs treatment can alleviate the obesity and hyperlipidemia caused by a high-fat diet and, thus, may be used as a functional food adjuvant, providing a theoretical basis and technical guidance for the prevention and treatment of high-fat diet-induced obesity and hyperlipidemia.

Synergistic mediating effect of edible fungal polysaccharides (Auricularia and Tremellan) and Crataegus flavonoids in hyperlipidemic rats

“…Some people may have muscular toxicity after taking statins, and rhabdomyolysis occurs in severe cases (He et al, 2018). Edible fungi polysaccharides can improve lipid metabolism disorders mainly by inhibiting or promoting the expression of related lipid metabolism enzymes and related factors, improving the activity of bile acid synthesis, regulating intestinal flora, and alleviating oxidative stress reaction (Yin et al, 2020; Zhao et al, 2023). Flavonoids can promote the decomposition of cholesterol and triglyceride to improve liver function and lipid metabolism (Huiming et al, 2022; Lanlan et al, 2022).…”

Beneficial effect of Lactobacillus fermentum GLF‐217 on hyperlipidemia in high‐fat diet golden hamsters by regulating gut microbiota

“…An HFD reduced serum ADP concentrations in golden hamsters, while GLF‐217 maintained and stimulated ADP secretion, thereby reducing the incidence of atherosclerosis. The relative constancy of blood lipids in the body mainly depends on the regulatory effect of the liver cells, the liver cells damage inevitably leads to abnormal lipid synthesis and metabolism in the body (Zhao et al, 2023). Experimental results show that long‐term HFD will bring more serious damage to liver and increase the risk of forming fatty liver, and GLF‐217 can alleviate the liver damage caused by HFD, in addition, we found that LOV intervention caused more severe the liver damage in golden hamsters than that in the GLF‐217 group, and the ALT level in LOV group was significantly higher than that in the HFD group.…”

Metabolomics analysis delineates the therapeutic effects of Yinlan Tiaozhi capsule on triton WR-1339 -induced hyperlipidemia in mice

“…The basic structural components of cell membranes are glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids, and Lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPCs) is generated by the hydrolysis of oxidized phosphatidylcholine in LDL by phospholipase A2 and act in a range of biological processes ( Ren et al, 2023 ; Zhao et al, 2023 ). Phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are the three types of glycerophospholipids ( Rowlett et al, 2017 ).…”
