Red bayberry extract prevents high-fat diet-induced metabolic disorders in C57BL/6 mice

Assessment of the antibacterial activity and the main bacteriostatic components from bayberry fruit extract

“…[15] Bayberry extract can prevent the metabolic disorders of C57BL/6 mice induced by a high-fat diet. [16] The flavonoid extract from Chinese bayberry has a protective role against ethanol-induced oxidative damage in mice livers. [17] In addition, the relevant researchers have proved that Myricitrin protects against peroxynitrite-mediated DNA damage and cytotoxicity in astrocytes.…”

Dietary selenate attenuates adiposity and improves insulin sensitivity in high-fat diet-induced obese mice

“…Given the high prevalence of obesity and its associated threat to public health, it is critical to develop effective methods to prevent the development of obesity and/ or reverse obesity-related metabolic disorders. There is growing evidence that various dietary bioactive compounds confer protection from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in animals through attenuation of adipose tissue development and lipid metabolism (Baboota et al, 2013;Kim & Park, 2011;Patel, 2015;Yu, Cai, Zhang, Feng, & Huang, 2015). However, poor water solubility, instability in the gastrointestinal tract, and low bioavailability of many of these compounds limit their application to dietary control of human obesity.…”

Ethyl acetate extract of crabapple fruit is the cholesterol-lowering fraction

“…The contents of total polyphenol and avonoid in the EAC were tested by using methods of Folin-Ciocalteu and colorimetric respectively as previously reported. 20 Results of total polyphenol and total avonoids contents were presented as milligram of gallic acid of EAC or rutin per gram of EAC.…”

“…qRT-PCR was performed as previous described. 20 Briey, total RNA from DIO mouse livers were isolated using the TRIzol (Takara, Tokyo, Japan) according to the protocol of manufacturer. 25 The rst-strand cDNA was synthesized with a RevertAid First Strand cDNA synthesis kit (Thermo Scientic, Wilmington, Delaware, USA).…”
