Lowering Activity

The lipid lowering activity ofAnthocephalus indicus(family Rubiaceae; Hindi name Kadamba) root extract has been studied in triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemia in rats. In this model, feeding with root extract (500 mg kg−1b.w.) lowered plasma lipids and reactivated post-heparin lipolytic activity in hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, the root extract (50–500 μM) inhibited the generation of superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, in both enzymic and non-enzymic systems,in vitro. The results of the present study demonstrated both lipid lowering and antioxidant activities in root extract ofA. indicus, which could help prevention of hyperlipidemia and related diseases.

Abstract Background: Metabolic effects of free fatty acids (FFAs) frequently are tested using combined infusion of triglycerides and heparin, which stimulates lipolysis in vivo. Ongoing in vitro lipolysis, however, probably produces falsely high plasma FFA concentrations under these conditions. Therefore, this study aims to assess the efficacy of tetrahydrolipstatin (THL) in inhibiting plasma lipolytic activity and to improve plasma FFA determination. Methods: Plasma concentrations of FFAs and glycerol were measured in five healthy subjects in the presence and absence of THL. Blood was drawn at baseline, during infusion of a triglyceride emulsion (1.5 mL/min), and during infusion of triglycerides plus heparin (0.2 IU · kg−1 · min−1). In addition, the effects of storage temperature of the samples were analyzed. Results: In samples frozen immediately after collection, plasma FFAs were 28% lower in the presence of THL than in its absence (P = 0.008). When THL-free plasma was incubated for 3 h on ice or at room temperature, plasma FFAs were 22% (P = 0.02) and 91% (P = 0.0004) higher, respectively, than in samples frozen immediately. The addition of THL blunted temperature-dependent in vitro lipolysis by 88% (P <0.01) and 89% (P <0.001) after incubation on ice and at room temperature, respectively. Changes in plasma glycerol concentrations exhibited similar behavior. Conclusions: THL, which is safe and easy to handle, is a potent inhibitor of in vitro lipolysis and could, therefore, be added to blood samples drawn during triglyceride/heparin infusions to allow more accurate determination of plasma FFA concentrations.

ABSTRACT The synthetic ACTH peptides β1–39 and β1–24 stimulated lipolysis as determined by the rat epididymal fat pad in vitro. The stimulating effect of these peptides was diminished by prior incubation of the peptides with antibodies produced by the guinea-pig against ACTH. The stimulating effect of these hormones was also diminished by the double antibody system used in the radio-immunoassay of ACTH and other peptide hormones, in which incubation with antiserum is followed by precipitation of the antigen-antibody complex by rabbit anti-guinea-pig-γ-globulin.

: In vitro lipolysis has emerged as a powerful tool in the development of in vitro in vivo correlation for Lipid-based Drug Delivery System (LbDDS). In vitro lipolysis possesses the ability to mimic the assimilation of LbDDS in the human biological system. The digestion medium for in vitro lipolysis commonly contains an aqueous buffer media, bile salts, phospholipids and sodium chloride. The concentrations of these compounds are defined by the physiological conditions prevailing in the fasted or fed state. The pH of the medium is monitored by a pH-sensitive electrode connected to a computercontrolled pH-stat device capable of maintaining a predefined pH value via titration with sodium hydroxide. Copenhagen, Monash and Jerusalem are used as different models for in vitro lipolysis studies. The most common approach used in evaluating the kinetics of lipolysis of emulsion-based encapsulation systems is the pH-stat titration technique. This is widely used in both the nutritional and the pharmacological research fields as a rapid screening tool. Analytical tools for the assessment of in vitro lipolysis include HPLC, GC, HPTLC, SEM, Cryo TEM, Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) for the characterization of the lipids and colloidal phases after digestion of lipids. Various researches have been carried out for the establishment of IVIVC by using in vitro lipolysis models. The current publication also presents an updated review of various researches in the field of in vitro lipolysis.

Stamina-enhancing effects of human adipose derived stem cells (hADSCs) were investigated in young Sprague-Dawley rats. Ten-day-old male rats were transplanted intravenously (IV) or intracerebroventricularly (ICV) with hADSCs (1 × 106 cells/rat), and physical activity was measured by locomotor activity and rota-rod performance at post-natal day (PND) 14, 20, 30, and 40, as well as a forced swimming test at PND 41. hADSCs injection increased the moving time in locomotor activity, the latency in rota-rod performance, and the maximum swimming time. For the improvement of physical activity, ICV transplantation was superior to IV injection. In biochemical analyses, ICV transplantation of hADSCs markedly reduced serum creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine transaminase, and muscular lipid peroxidation, the markers for muscular and hepatic injuries, despite the reduction in muscular glycogen and serum triglycerides as energy sources. Notably, hADSCs secreted brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor in vitro, and increased the level of BDNF in the brain and muscles in vivo. The results indicate that hADSCs enhance physical activity including stamina not only by attenuating tissue injury, but also by strengthening the muscles via production of BDNF.
