A variety of natural products have been explored for their antiobesity potential and widely used to develop dietary supplements for the prevention of weight gain from excess body fat. In an attempt to find a natural antiobesity agent, this study was designed to evaluate the antiobesity activity of a novel herbal formulation LI85008F composed of extracts from three medicinal plants in high-fat diet- (HFD-) induced obese mice. After the thirteen-week oral administration of the test materials to mice, the body weight gain, whole-body fat mass, adipose tissue weight, and the expression levels of obesity-related proteins were measured. Our results indicated that LI85008F can suppress body weight gain and lower whole-body fat mass in HFD-induced obese mice. Significant decreases in epididymal and retroperitoneal fat mass were observed in LI85008F-treated groups compared with the HFD-fed control group ( p < 0.05 ). Furthermore, the oral administration of LI85008F caused significant decreases in the expression level of adipogenic (C/EBPα and PPARγ) and lipogenic (ACC) markers and notable increases in the production level of thermogenetic (AMPKα, PGC1α and UCP1) and lipolytic (HSL) proteins. These findings suggest that LI85008F holds great promise for a novel herbal formulation with antiobesity activities, preventing body fat accumulation and altering lipid metabolism.

Category: Diabetes, Hindfoot, Midfoot/Forefoot, obesity Introduction/Purpose: In recent decades, the prevalence of obesity in the United States has increased dramatically. This can be attributed in-part to the high-fat “Western Diet”. Consequentially, the economic burden of obesity to the healthcare system has rapidly increased, accounting for more than 10 percent of all medical spending in America. Furthermore, with regards to orthopedics, obesity has been shown to be a strong risk factor for musculoskeletal pain, injury, and post-operative complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of high intensity cardiovascular training and controlled dietary intake on body weight, body fat percentage (BFP), and bone mineral density (BMD) in obese and non-obese mice. These results will provide a better understanding of how to optimally facilitate weight loss in obese patients. Methods: Following IAUCUC approval, 8 diet-induced obesity (DIO) C57BL/6 mice were obtained along with 6 non-obese C57BL/6 control mice. DIO mice were fed a high-fat diet (60% fat by kcal) ad libitum starting at the age of 6 weeks. Control mice were fed a standard low-fat diet (10% fat by kcal) ad libitum from birth. Starting at the age of 14 weeks, all mice underwent a controlled high intensity cardiovascular training protocol using a treadmill four times per week at 30 minute intervals. This was carried out for seven weeks including a one-week acclimation period. Speed, distance, and time spent running were all constant between groups. Mouse body weights were recorded several times per week throughout the study. Additionally, BFP and BMD were obtained bi-weekly using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to assess morphophysiological changes longitudinally. Results: Preliminary investigations with a controlled exercise regimen reveal that obese mice, when fed a high-fat diet, continue to gain weight rapidly despite high intensity cardiovascular training whereas control mice maintain their weight. Following the seven-week training period, control mice gained an average of 1.25 g (p=0.41), while DIO mice gained an average of 8.55 g (p<0.001). DIO mice also showed an 8.74% increase in body fat percentage (p=0.002) while control mice showed a 0.51% decrease in body fat percentage (p=0.75). Lastly, BMD was significantly lower in DIO mice compared to controls following the exercise protocol (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study support the hypothesis that a controlled exercise regimen alone is ineffective for facilitating weight loss. In fact, obese mice administered a high-fat diet actually gain weight despite undergoing a rigorous exercise program. Additionally, simple differences in dietary intake have significant effects on body weight, body fat percentage, and bone mineral density. This suggests that while exercise may play a small role in maintaining a normal weight, obesity is irreversible with exercise alone. Obese orthopedic patients should be counseled on dietary modifications before engaging in an exercise program.
