In this study, we explored the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum FZU3013-fermented Laminaria japonica (LPLJ) supplementation to prevent hyperlipidaemia in rats fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). The results indicate that LPLJ supplementation improved serum and hepatic biochemical indicators (p < 0.05), elevated short-chain fatty acid levels, reduced HFD-induced accumulation of lipid droplets in the liver, modulated the relative abundance of some microbial phylotypes, and reduced hyperlipidaemia in HFD-fed rats by adjusting the aminoacyl-tRNA, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthetic pathways, as well as the phenylalanine, D-glutamine and D-glutamate, and glutathione metabolic pathways. Additionally, hepatic mRNA levels of the genes involved in lipid metabolism and bile acid homeostasis were significantly reduced by LPLJ intervention (p < 0.05). These results suggest that LPLJ has a positive effect on modulating lipid metabolism and has the potential to be a functional food that can help prevent hyperlipidaemia.

Obesity contributes to approximatively 2.5 million deaths every year and is associated with life threatening conditions including hypertension. Recently, we found that constitutive deletion of adipocyte (pro)renin-receptor (PRR) prevented high-fat diet-induced obesity through a drastic decrease in fat mass. However, adipocyte PRR deficient mice were characterized by a fatty liver and by an elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), classic features of models of lipodystrophy. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the temporally-controlled deletion of adipocyte PRR in obese mice reverses obesity related hypertension. After 18 weeks of high fat diet, inducible adipocyte-PRR deficient ( PRR ERT ) and control ( PRR fl/Y ) male mice (n=7-11 mice/ group) were injected intraperitoneally with tamoxifen (TMX) for 5 consecutive days. Body weight, body composition and blood pressure, measured by radiotelemetry in a subgroup of mice (n=2-4 mice/ group), were recorded before and after TMX injection. The inducible deletion of adipocyte PRR in PRR ERT mice decreased significantly body weights ( PRR fl/fl , 46.6 ± 1.3 g; PRR ERT , 42.1 ± 1.4 g, P<0.05) and fat mass ( PRR fl/fl , 15.8 ± 1.0 g; PRR ERT , 8.1 ± 0.7 g, P<0.05) compared to control mice. PPARγ, FABP4 and FAS mRNA levels were significantly decreased by 68% (6.8 out 10), 80% (8 out 10) and 68% (6.8 out 10) respectively in white adipose tissues of PRR ERT mice suggesting that PRR positively regulated adipogenesis and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue. In addition, the inducible deletion of adipocyte PRR in PRR ERT mice decreased significantly SBP compared to control mice ( PRR fl/fl , -4.3 ± 3.2 g; PRR ERT , -10.2 ± 2.4 g, P<0.05). Interestingly, adipocyte angiotensinogen mRNA abundance was significantly decreased in adipose tissue of PRR ERT mice fed a standard diet suggesting that the decrease in blood pressure might be mediated by a local renin angiotensin system (RAS). The measurement of local (liver, kidney, adipose tissue and brain) and systemic RAS in HF-fed mice is under investigation. Taken together, our results highlight a new signaling pathway in which PRR regulates adipogenesis, lipid metabolism and blood pressure. PRR could represent a new potential therapeutic target for obesity and hypertension.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of the different probiotic strains,Lactobacillus plantarumLS/07 andLactobacillus plantarumBiocenol LP96, on lipid metabolism and body weight in rats fed a high fat diet. Compared with the high fat diet group, the results showed thatLactobacillus plantarumLS/07 reduced serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, butLactobacillus plantarumBiocenol LP96 decreased triglycerides and VLDL, while there was no change in the serum HDL level and liver lipids. Both probiotic strains lowered total bile acids in serum. Our strains have no significant change in body weight, gain weight, and body fat. These findings indicate that the effect of lactobacilli on lipid metabolism may differ among strains and that theLactobacillus plantarumLS/07 andLactobacillus plantarumBiocenol LP96 can be used to improve lipid profile and can contribute to a healthier bowel microbial balance.
