Effect of Banana Kefir Synbiotic on LDL-Cholesterol and HDL-Cholesterol of Metabolic Syndrome Rats Metabolic syndrome (SM) is characterized by several risk factors including dyslipidemia. This study aims to analyze the effect of kefir synbiotic produced from banana stone flour (Musa balbisiana) on LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol of metabolic syndrome rat model. The 24 Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups, namely negative control (healthy rats fed standard feed), positive control (metabolic syndrome rats fed standard feed), treatment I and treatment II (metabolic syndrome rats each given synbiotic kefir banana stone flour 1.8 mL/200 g mouse BW/day and 3.6 mL/200 g mouse BW/day, respectively). The intervention was carried out for three weeks. After the intervention, the levels of LDL-cholesterol in treatment I and II experienced a decrease of 44.66% and 56.94%, respectively, while the-HDL-cholesterol levels in treatment I and II experienced an increase of 104.5% and 172.71%, respectively. The biggest change occurred in treatment II. Synbiotic kefir banana stone flour improved lipid profile in metabolic syndrome rats. Sindrom metabolik (SM) ditandai dengan beberapa faktor risiko termasuk dislipidemia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh sinbiotik kefir tepung pisang batu (Musa balbisiana) terhadap kadar kolesterol-LDL dan kolesterol-HDL tikus model SM. Subjek menggunakan 24 ekor tikus Sprague Dawley yang dibagi menjadi empat kelompok, yaitu kontrol negatif (tikus sehat yang diberi pakan standar), kontrol positif (tikus model SM yang diberi pakan standar), perlakuan I dan perlakuan II (tikus model SM yang masing-masing diberi sinbiotik kefir tepung pisang batu 1,8 mL/200 g BB tikus/hari dan 3,6 mL/200 g BB tikus/hari). Proses intervensi dilakukan selama tiga minggu. Setelah intervensi, kadar kolesterol-LDL perlakuan I dan II mengalami penurunan sebesar 44,66% dan 56,94%, sedangkan kadar kolesterol-HDL perlakuan I dan II mengalami peningkatan sebesar 104,5% dan 172,71%. Perubahan terbesar terjadi pada perlakuan II. Sinbiotik kefir tepung pisang batu memperbaiki profil lipid tikus sindrom metabolik.

The Metabolic Syndrome increases the risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Increased fructose consumption and/or mineral deficiency have been associated with Metabolic Syndrome development. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 8 weeks consumption of a hypersaline sodium-rich naturally sparkling mineral water on 10% fructose-fed Sprague-Dawley rats (Metabolic Syndrome animal model). The ingestion of the mineral water (rich in sodium bicarbonate and with higher potassium, calcium, and magnesium content than the tap water used as control) reduced/prevented not only the fructose-induced increase of heart rate, plasma triacylglycerols, insulin and leptin levels, hepatic catalase activity, and organ weight to body weight ratios (for liver and both kidneys) but also the decrease of hepatic glutathione peroxidase activity and oxidized glutathione content. This mineral-rich water seems to have potential to prevent Metabolic Syndrome induction by fructose. We hypothesize that its regular intake in the context of modern diets, which have a general acidic character interfering with mineral homeostasis and are poor in micronutrients, namely potassium, calcium, and magnesium, could add surplus value and attenuate imbalances, thus contributing to metabolic and redox health and, consequently, decreasing the risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

This study investigated the anti-arrhythmic effects from chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) and the cellular mechanisms in rats with metabolic syndrome. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly distributed among the control, fructose-fed (fed with 10% fructose in the drinking water to induce metabolic syndrome), CIHH (42 days of hypobaric hypoxia treatment simulating an altitude of 5000 m a.s.l.: PB = 404 mm Hg, PO2 = 84 mm Hg, 6 h per day), and the CIHH plus fructose (CIHH-F) groups. In anesthetized rats, the arrhythmia score was determined after 30 min of cardiac ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Action potentials (AP) were recorded from isolated ventricular papillary muscles. The arrhythmia score was much lower in CIHH-F rats than in the fructose-fed rats. Under basic conditions, AP duration (APD) was significantly shortened in fructose-fed rats, but obviously prolonged in CIHH rats compared with that of the control rats. During ischemia, the AP amplitude, the maximal rate of rise of phase 0, APD, and resting potential, were lower in the control, fructose-fed, and CIHH-F groups, but were not changed in the CIHH rats. The lower AP during ischemia did not recover after washout for the fructose-fed rats. In conclusion, CIHH protects the heart against ischemia–reperfusion induced arrhythmia in rats with metabolic syndrome. This effect of CIHH is possibly related to baseline prolongation of the AP and attenuation of AP reduction during ischemia–reperfusion.

Abstract Metabolic syndrome a lifestyle disease, where diet and gut microbiota play a prodigious role in its initiation and progression. Prophylactic bio-interventions employing probiotics and prebiotics offer an alternate nutritional approach towards attenuating its progression. The present study aimed to evaluate the protective efficacy of a novel synbiotic (L. pentosus GSSK2 + isomalto- oligosaccharides) in comparison to orlistat in an experimental model of metabolic syndrome. It was observed that supplementation of synbiotic for 12 weeks to Sprague Dawley rats fed with high fat diet, ameliorated the anthropometric parameters i.e. weight gain, abdominal circumference, Lee’s index, BMI and visceral fat deposition along with significantly increased fecal Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes ratio, elevated population of Lactobacillus spp., Akkermansia spp., Faecalibacterium spp., Roseburia spp. and decreased Enterobacteriaceae compared with HFD animals. Additionally, synbiotic administration to HFD animals exhibited improved glucose clearance, lipid biomarkers, alleviated oxidative stress, prevented leaky gut phenotype, reduced serum lipopolysaccharides and modulated the inflammatory, lipid and glucose metabolism genes along with restored histomorphology of adipose tissue, colon and liver compared with HFD animals. Taken together, the study highlights the protective potential of synbiotic in comparison with its individual components in ameliorating HFD-induced metabolic complications.

Background. Increased fructose consumption is linked to the development of metabolic syndrome (MS). Here we investigated the time course of development of MS features in high-fructose-fed Sprague Dawley rats along with circulatory testosterone and homocysteine levels.Methods. Rats were divided into control and experimental groups and fed with diets containing 54.5% starch and fructose, respectively, for 4, 12, and 24 weeks. Plasma testosterone and homocysteine levels were measured along with insulin, glucose, and lipids. Body composition, insulin resistance, and hepatic lipids were measured.Results. Increase in hepatic triglyceride content was first observed in metabolic disturbance followed by hypertriglyceridemia and systemic insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats. Hepatic lipids were increased in time-dependent manner by fructose-feeding starting from 4 weeks, but circulatory triglyceride levels were increased after 12 weeks. Fasting insulin and Homeostatis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) were increased after 12 weeks of fructose-feeding. Decreased visceral adiposity, circulatory testosterone, and homocysteine levels were observed after 4 weeks of fructose-feeding, which were normalized at 12 and 24 weeks.Conclusions. We conclude that transient decrease in circulatory testosterone and homocysteine levels and increased hepatic triglyceride content are the earliest metabolic disturbances that preceded hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance in fructose-fed SD rats.
