Title: | Dietary sinapic acid attenuated high-fat diet-induced lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in male Syrian hamsters. |
Abstract: | The current study investigated the effects of sinapic acid on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in male Syrian hamsters. Sinapic acid treatment significantly reduced body weight, epididymal fat, and perirenal fat mass in HFD hamsters. Sinapic acid also improved dyslipidemia levels (reducing the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increasing the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and increased T-AOC levels to mitigate oxidative stress injury. Moreover, sinapic acid intervention increased the activations of PPAR-γ, CPT-1, and CYP7A1 and decreased the activations of FAS, ACC1, SREBP1, SREBP2, and HMGCR in the livers of HFD hamsters. In addition, sinapic acid intervention also significantly inhibited the intestinal mRNA levels of Srebp2 and Npc1l1 in HFD hamsters. In conclusion, sinapic acid can significantly attenuate abnormal lipid metabolism in the development of HFD-induced obesity and reduce the level of oxidative stress to exert its anti-obesity effect. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Obesity is the main cause of some chronic metabolic syndromes, such as dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, and hyperuricemia. Searching for new, safe, and effective natural products in weight loss and fat reduction has become one of the hot research topics. As a natural source of simple phenolic acids, sinapic acid is present in fruits, vegetables, and grains and has been indicated to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antihyperuricemic, lipid homeostasis regulation, and anticancer activities. However, the lipid metabolism- and oxidative stress-regulating activities of sinapic acid are not clear. Here, the current study investigated the lipid metabolism and oxidative stress regulating activities of sinapic acid in male Syrian hamsters fed a high-fat diet. |
