Metabolomics Reveals Protection of Resveratrol in Diet-Induced Metabolic Risk Factors in Abdominal Muscle

Abstract

Background/Aims: Abdominal obesity is recognized as the main reason of metabolic syndrome, which is closely related to disordered skeletal and/or abdominal muscle metabolic functions. Metabolomics is a comprehensive assessment system in biological metabolites. The aim of our present study is to investigate the diet-induced metabolic risk factors by metabolic in the abdominal muscles and clarify the relationship between atheroprotective effects of Resveratrol (Rev) and abdominal muscles metabolic components during the development of atherosclerosis. Methods: The mice were randomly divided into three groups including normal group (N), high fat diet (HFD or H) group and high fat diet with Rev treated group (HR). GC-MS combined with pattern recognition approaches were employed to obtain comprehensive metabolic signatures and related differential metabolites after 24 week HFD feeding. Oil Red O staining and Electron microscopy technology (EMT) were employed to detect the size of fatty plaques and intracellular lipid accumulation, respectively. Results: The result indicated that 22 types of metabolites in the abdominal muscles were obviously altered by HFD feeding group. Moreover, Rev treatment obviously increased 11 different kinds of metabolites, most of which were involved in the carbohydrate, amino acid and lipid metabolisms. Importantly, these elevated different metabolites were involved in pathways mainly related to galactose metabolism, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism in abdominal muscles. Oil Red O staining and Electron microscopy showed less lipid accumulation in the lesions and decreased intracellular lipid deposition in the foam cells in HR group. Conclusions: We concluded that Rev produced a beneficial effect partially by modulating multiple metabolism pathways and metabolites in the abdominal muscles, which may provide a new protective mechanism of Rev on the progression of atherosclerosis. These notably changed metabolites might be potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets during development of metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis.

Resveratrol inhibits lipid accumulation in the intestine of atherosclerotic mice and macrophages

“…For metabolic profiling, 1 μL of the derivatized sample was injected into a gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry systems via an AOC‐20i autosampler (GCMS‐QP 2010 plus, Shimadzu, Japan). The instrument parameters were set according to those used in our previous work . Metabolites were separated on a DB‐5 MS capillary column (30 m × 250 μm × 0.25 μm, J&W Scientifc Inc, USA).…”

High Circulating Alarin Levels Are Associated with Presence of Metabolic Syndrome

“…It is generally accepted that the metabolic regulation in obesity, T2D and MetS patients is influenced by their diet and physical activity, and physical activity protects against several types of disease including CAD, T2D and MetS [26,27]. Recently, muscle tissues have been found to be an endocrine organ that releases cytokines, named myokines.…”

Resveratrol attenuates high-fat diet-induced obesity and the aging-related sarcopenia mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle

“…The prevalence of obesity in the whole word is increasing in all age groups. Since sarcopenia is directly attributed to obesity or age, there's no guarantee that a person will be able to prevent it (7,(10)(11).…”

“…Obesity is associated with skeletal muscle loss and impairgenesis. Increased infiltration of proinflammatory in skeletal muscle strophy is noted in obesity and sarcopenia and is associated with muscle dysfunction (13,(14)(15)(16). Sarcopenia is now recognized as a disease, most common in older people, but can also occur earlier in life (17).…”
