The medicinal plantsArtemisia iwayomogi(A. iwayomogi) andCurcuma longa(C. longa) radix have been used to treat metabolic abnormalities in traditional Korean medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TKM and TCM). In this study we evaluated the effect of the water extract of a mixture ofA. iwayomogiandC. longa(ACE) on high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome in a mouse model. Four groups of C57BL/6N male mice (except for the naive group) were fed a high-fat diet freely for 10 weeks. Among these, three groups (except the control group) were administered a high-fat diet supplemented with ACE (100 or 200 mg/kg) or curcumin (50 mg/kg). Body weight, accumulation of adipose tissues in abdomen and size of adipocytes, serum lipid profiles, hepatic steatosis, and oxidative stress markers were analyzed. ACE significantly reduced the body and peritoneal adipose tissue weights, serum lipid profiles (total cholesterol and triglycerides), glucose levels, hepatic lipid accumulation, and oxidative stress markers. ACE normalized lipid synthesis-associated gene expressions (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, PPARγ; fatty acid synthase, FAS; sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor-1c, SREBP-1c; and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, PPARα). The results from this study suggest that ACE has the pharmaceutical potential reducing the metabolic abnormalities in an animal model.

Obesity is associated with renal lipomatosis, inflammation and oxidative stress. Vitamin E is a liposoluble antioxidant vitamin and PLGA (polylactic-CO-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (NPs) represent a delivery carrier of this vitamin to the abdominal viscera. The aim of this study is to evaluate the renal and systemic effects of PLGA- NPs loaded with vitamin E in high fat diet Wistar rats. Young heathy Wistar male rats (3months old, n=20) were fed for 4 weeks either with standard diet or with high caloric/fat diet. These two experimental groups were divided in two subgroups and for the following 21 days, one group received PLGA-NPs loaded with vitamin E (1 mg/kg) body and the other didn�t. Metabolic serum parameters, oxidative stress markers ( malondialdehyde, MDA and total thiols) from kidney homogenates were measured by spectrophotometric methods. Hematoxylin-eosin stain histopathologic examination of kidneys was performed. The obesogenic diet increased the serum levels for triglycerides (p[0.001) and renal function markers: urea (p[0.02), creatinine (p[0.02) and cystatin (p[0.01). The treatment reduced the kidney inflammation, prevented tubulonephrosis damage and improved the renal oxidative stress markers (p[0.05) in the high fat diet group. In conclusion, PLGA-NPs loaded with vitamin E had renoprotective effect in high fat diet Wistar rats.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of high fat diet with or without grape juice during the pregnancy on gestational weight gain, biochemical parameters, and oxidative stress in plasma and liver from Wistar rats. Forty-nine rats were divided into four groups: control diet group (CD), high fat diet (HFD), grape juice and control diet (PGJCD), and grape juice and high fat diet (PGJHFD). During the treatment the weight gain of the rats was tracked. They had free access to their respective diets during 42 days of treatment. After offspring weaning, the mother rats were euthanized and blood and liver were collected. The high fat diet increased the total cholesterol and triglycerides serum levels as well as carbonyl levels in the liver, however this diet reduced the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and urea levels in serum. Grape juice consumption reduced gestational body weight gain. In liver, the juice consumption increased sulfhydryl levels and reduced the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and TBARS level, in serum the consumption reduced aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and TBARS. We can conclude that the consumption of a diet rich in fat can promotes harmful effects on health during pregnancy, however the consumption of grape juice seems to be an important alternative to prevent oxidative damages and to promote the improvement of health.
