Chemically modified starches (CMS) are RS4-type resistant starch, which shows a reduced availability, as well as high-amylose corn starch (HACS, RS2 type), compared with the corresponding unmodified starch. Previous studies have shown that RS4 increases fecal excretion of bile acids and reduces zinc and iron absorption in rats. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary RS4 supplementation on the development of diet-induced obesity in mice. Weight- and age-matched male C57BL/6J mice were fed for 24 wk on a high-fat diet containing unmodified starch, hydroxypropylated distarch phosphate (RS4), or HACS (RS2). Those fed the RS4 diet had significantly lower body weight and visceral fat weight than those fed either unmodified starch or the RS2 diet. Those fed the RS4 diet for 4 wk had a significantly higher hepatic fatty acid oxidation capacity and related gene expression and lower blood insulin than those fed either unmodified starch or the RS2 diet. Indirect calorimetry showed that the RS4 group exhibited higher energy expenditure and fat utilization compared with the RS2 group. When gavaged with fat (trioleate), RS4 stimulated a lower postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP; incretin) response than RS2. Higher blood GIP levels induced by chronic GIP administration reduced fat utilization in high-fat diet-fed mice. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with RS4-type resistant starch attenuates high-fat diet-induced obesity more effectively than RS2 in C57BL/6J mice, which may be attributable to lower postprandial GIP and increased fat catabolism in the liver.

Metabolic syndrome-associated dyslipidemia is mainly initiated by hepatic overproduction of the plasma lipoproteins carrying triglycerides. Here we examined the effects of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR)-β/δ activator GW501516 on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic fatty acid oxidation. Exposure to the HFD caused hypertriglyceridemia that was accompanied by reduced hepatic mRNA levels of PPAR-γ coactivator 1 (PGC-1)-α and lipin 1, and these effects were prevented by GW501516 treatment. GW501516 treatment also increased nuclear lipin 1 protein levels, leading to amplification in the PGC-1α-PPARα signaling system, as demonstrated by the increase in PPARα levels and PPARα-DNA binding activity and the increased expression of PPARα-target genes involved in fatty acid oxidation. These effects of GW501516 were accompanied by an increase in plasma β-hydroxybutyrate levels, demonstrating enhanced hepatic fatty acid oxidation. Moreover, GW501516 increased the levels of the hepatic endogenous ligand for PPARα, 16:0/18:1-phosphatidilcholine and markedly enhanced the expression of the hepatic Vldl receptor. Interestingly, GW501516 prevented the reduction in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and the increase in phosphorylated levels of ERK1/2 caused by HFD. In addition, our data indicate that the activation of AMPK after GW501516 treatment in mice fed HFD might be the result of an increase in the AMP to ATP ratio in hepatocytes. These findings indicate that the hypotriglyceridemic effect of GW501516 in HFD-fed mice is accompanied by an increase in phospho-AMPK levels and the amplification of the PGC-1α-lipin 1-PPARα pathway.

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to gain more insight into the beneficial effects of mango fruit powder on the early metabolic adverse effects of a high-fat diet. Methods: The progressive dose-response effects of mango fruit powder on body composition, circulating parameters, and the expression of genes related to fatty acid oxidation and insulin sensitivity in key tissues were studied in mice fed a moderate (45%) high-fat diet. Results: Findings suggest that mango fruit powder exerts physiological protective effects in the initial steps of insulin resistance and hepatic lipid accumulation induced by a high-fat diet in mice. Moreover, AMPK and SIRT1 appear as key regulators of the observed improvement in fatty acid oxidation capacity, as well as of the improved insulin sensitivity and the increased glucose uptake and metabolism through the glycolytic pathway capacity in liver and skeletal muscle. Conclusion: In summary, this study provides evidence that the functional food ingredient (CarelessTM) from mango fruit prevents early metabolic alterations caused by a high-fat diet in the initial stages of the metabolic syndrome.

In the obese and diabetic heart, an imbalance between fatty acid uptake and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) promotes the development of cardiac lipotoxicity. We previously showed that cardiac specific deletion of acetyl CoA carboxylase 2 (ACC2) was effective in increasing myocardial FAO while maintaining normal cardiac function and energetics. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that ACC2 deletion in an adult heart would prevent the cardiac lipotoxic phenotype in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. ACC2 flox/flox (CON) and ACC2 flox/flox-MerCreMer+ (iKO) after tamoxifen injection were subjected to a high fat diet (HFD) for 24 weeks. HFD induced similar body weight gain and glucose intolerance in CON and iKO. In isolated Langendorff-perfused heart experiments, HFD feeding increased FAO 1.6-fold in CON mice which was increased to 2.5-fold in iKO mice compared with CON on chow diet. Fractional shortening was significantly decreased in CON-HFD (32.8±2.8% vs. 39.2±3.2%, p< 0.05, n=5-6), but preserved in iKO-HFD mice (42.8±2.3%, vs. 38.5±1.4%, n=6), compared to respective chow fed controls. Diastolic function, assessed by E’/A’ ratio using tissue Doppler imaging, was significantly decreased in CON-HFD mice (1.11±0.08 vs. 0.91±0.09, p<0.05 n=5-6), while no difference was observed in iKO-HFD compared to iKO-chow (1.10±0.03 vs. 1.09±0.04, n=6). Heart weight /Tibia length ratio was significantly higher in CON than iKO mice after HFD feeding (7.19±0.22 vs. 6.47±0.28, p<0.05, n=6). Furthermore, HFD induced mitochondria super complex II, III and V instability, which was attenuated in iKO-HFD mice. These data indicate that elevated myocardial FAO per se does not cause the development of cardiac dysfunction in obese animals. In fact, enhancing FAO via ACC2 deletion prevents HFD induced cardiac dysfunction and attenuates pathological hypertrophy. These effects may be mediated, in part, by maintenance of mitochondrial integrity. Taken together, our findings suggest that promoting cardiac FAO is an effective strategy to resist the development of cardiac lipotoxicity during diet-induced obesity.
