Title: | Preventive effects of black soybean polyphenols on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in three different mouse models. |
Abstract: | Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its advanced stage, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), are a major health issue throughout the world. Certain food components such as polyphenols are expected to possess preventive effects on NAFLD and NASH. In this study, the preventive effects of black soybean polyphenols were examined by using three NAFLD/NASH animal models. In a choline-deficient and L-amino acid-defined high-fat diet-induced NASH model, the intake of black soybean polyphenols decreased oxidative stress, but failed in attenuating liver injury and decreasing the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). In a Western diet with sucrose and fructose containing sweetened water-induced NAFLD model, black soybean polyphenols suppressed hepatic lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, aminotransferase activities in the plasma, inflammatory cytokine expression, and α-SMA expression accompanied by modulation of lipid metabolism. In a combination of Western diet and carbon tetrachloride model, black soybean polyphenols also suppressed hepatic lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, aminotransferase activities in the plasma, and α-SMA expression. In conclusion, black soybean is an attractive food for the prevention of NAFLD and NASH due to its strong antioxidant activity. |
