Momordica Cochinchinensis

Abstract Background Obesity and its associated conditions, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), are a particular worldwide health problem at present. Momordica cochinchinensis fruit is consumed widely in Southeast Asia. However, whether it has functional effects on fat-induced metabolic dysfunction and gut microbiota remains unclear. This study was conducted to determine how Momordica cochinchinensis aril (MCA) affects obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver, insulin resistance and gut microbiota in diet-induced obese mice.Methods Wild type male mice at age of 5 weeks received four different kinds of diets: a normal diet, high-fat diet (HFD), or HFD supplemented with 1% or 3% (wt:wt) lyophilized MCA for 10 weeks. Body weight, adipose tissue and liver weight, serum biochemical parameters, glucose tolerance and liver lipids were measured. Gut microbial composition was analyzed.Results MCA protected the mice against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced body weight gain, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia, compared with mice that were not treated. MCA inhibited the expansion of adipose tissue and adipocyte hypertrophy. In addition, the insulin sensitivity-associated index that evaluates insulin function was also significantly restored. MCA also regulated the secretion of adipokines in HFD-induced obese mice. Moreover, hepatic fat accumulation and liver inflammation were reduced, which suggested that fatty liver was prevented by MCA. Furthermore, MCA supplementation suppressed hepatic lipid accumulation by activation of AMPK and PPAR-alpha signaling pathway in the human fatty liver HuS-E/2 cell model. Supplementation with MCA resulted in microbiota populations changed significantly.Conclusion Our data indicate that dietary MCA is involved in the prevention of HFD-induced adiposity, insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and altered the microbial contents of the gut and modulated microbial dysbiosis in the host.

AbstractWe aimed to investigate the effects of maternal tadalafil therapy on fetal programming of metabolic function in a mouse model of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Pregnant C57BL6 mice were divided into the control, L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and tadalafil + L-NAME groups. Six weeks after birth, the male pups in each group were given a high-fat diet. A glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed at 15 weeks and the pups were euthanized at 20 weeks. We then assessed the histological changes in the liver and adipose tissue, and the adipocytokine production. We found that the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score was higher in the L-NAME group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Although the M1 macrophage numbers were significantly higher in the L-NAME/high-fat diet group (p < 0.001), maternal tadalafil administration prevented this change. Moreover, the epididymal adipocyte size was significantly larger in the L-NAME group than in the control group. This was also improved by maternal tadalafil administration (p < 0.05). Further, we found that resistin levels were significantly lower in the L-NAME group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The combination of exposure to maternal L-NAME and a high-fat diet induced glucose impairment and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, maternal tadalafil administration prevented these complications. Thus, deleterious fetal programming caused by FGR might be modified by in utero intervention with tadalafil.
