Title: Dietary salmon milt extracts attenuate hepatosteatosis and liver dysfunction in diet-induced fatty liver model.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Dietary nucleotides have several reported beneficial effects. Here, we report on a proteomic analysis of the effect of dietary nucleotides-rich salmon milt extract (SME) on the liver in a diet-induced fatty liver model. RESULTS: Young male normal ddY mice were fed a normal chow diet, high carbohydrate diet (HCD), HCD containing 1% SME, or HCD containing 10% SME for 5 days following by a 2-day fast. Increased serum alanine transferase and aspartate transferase activities were observed in the HCD group and were significantly attenuated in the SME groups (P < 0.05). Hepatic steatosis was observed in all the HCD groups. Hepatic expression of Tnf&#945; was significantly suppressed in the 10% SME group (P < 0.05). Comprehensive proteomic analysis of the liver in the SME groups revealed an increase in the levels of major proteins involved in mitochondrial bioenergetics, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1 alpha, mitochondrial thioredoxin, cardiolipin synthase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, and carnitine palmitoyltransferase I. CONCLUSION: Dietary SME improved liver function in the diet-induced fatty liver model. Activation of mitochondrial biogenetic function might be involved in this process. &#169; 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
