The present study evaluated the antiobesity and lipid-lowering effects from dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts of Hwanggeumchal Sorghum varieties on Sorghum bicolor. The Hwanggeumchal Sorghum ethyl acetate extracts significantly reduced the plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly when given orally at a dose of 50 and 300 mg/kg/day to the high-fat diet-induced obese rats for 2 weeks. These findings demonstrate the excellent pharmacological potential of Hwanggeumchal Sorghum varieties to prevent obesity.

The effect of diet-induced obesity on interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) was assessed after feeding male Sprague-Dawley rats a high-fat diet for 3-5 mo beginning at 3 mo of age. IBAT pads in 6-mo-old obese rats were heavier (22%), had more lipid (71%), and larger unilocular cells (38%) than chow-fed controls. Mitochondrial morphology, beta-adrenergic receptor binding ([ 125I]iodocyanopindolol), and norepinephrine-stimulated lipolysis were similar in IBAT from obese and control rats. When 8-mo-old chow-fed rats were switched to the high-fat diet for 7-14 days, IBAT pads became hypercellular without cell hypertrophy and with a 70% increase in norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. However, when 8-mo-old obese rats that had been on the high-fat diet for 5 mo were switched to chow for 3 days, IBAT cellularity was unchanged, but norepinephrine-induced lipolysis was increased 70%. Therefore, in lean and obese 6- to 8-mo-old rats, short-term dietary manipulation led to metabolic activation, whereas chronic diet-induced obesity on a stable diet was associated with a return of IBAT metabolism to control levels.

AbstractThe main objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of yogurt supplementation on fat deposition, oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis in the liver of rats with high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity. Male Wistar rats were used in this study and were separated into the following four different groups: the control, control + yogurt, high fat and high fat+ yogurt groups. The high fat groups received a HF diet for eight weeks. A 5% yogurt (w/w) supplement was also provided to rats fed the HF diet. Yogurt supplementation prevented glucose intolerance and normalized liver-specific enzyme activities in the HF diet-fed rats. Yogurt supplementation also significantly reduced the levels of oxidative stress markers in the plasma and liver of HF diet-fed rats. Moreover, inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen deposition and fibrosis in the liver of HF diet-fed rats were also prevented by yogurt supplementation. Furthermore, yogurt supplementation normalized the intestinal lining and brush border in HF diet-fed rats. This study suggests that yogurt supplementation potentially represents an alternative therapy for the prevention of metabolic syndrome in HF diet-fed rats.
