Lower energy expenditures in infants from obese biological mothers

Nutrition Journal — Fri, 16 May 2008 04:00:00 +0100

Background: Previous studies in adults have found that a lower resting metabolic rate is a predictor of future body weight gain. Methods: To determine if energy expenditures are reduced in infants born to obese mothers, 21 healthy infants (3.9 +/- 1.9 months) born to lean (n=7, BMI < 25 kg/m2 ), overweight (n=7, BMI between 25-30) and obese (n=7, BMI>30) mothers, respectively, participated in this study. Measurements of infant weight, length and skin-fold thicknesses, and mother's weight and height were obtained. Infant energy expenditure was measured for 4-hours using the Enhanced Metabolic Testing Activity Chamber. Metabolic data were extrapolated to 24-hours and adjusted for differences in age and body composition using linear regression analysis (SPSS, version 13) and expressed as kcal/day. Differences between the three groups were determined by one way ANOVA with the Bonferroni Post Hoc test procedure (p (Source: Nutrition Journal)

Obesity-related promotion of aberrant crypt foci in dmh-treated obese zucker rats correlates with dyslipidemia rather than hyperinsulinemia

European Journal of Nutrition — Thu, 15 May 2008 06:24:00 +0100

Abstract Background Obesity and energy restriction modulate the development of precancerous aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in animal models of colon cancer. Aim Investigation of the major obesity-associated determinants for ACF-development and underlying mechanisms leading to ACF-modulation, such as changes in DNA damage or colonocytes hyperproliferation. Methods Lean and obese Zucker rats fed ad libitum (a.l.) or obese pair fed (p.f.) were induced with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) for colon cancer. Multiple regression analyses were performed to identify major metabolic factors correlated with ACF number and size (aberrant crypts/ACF). DNA damage is analyzed by the comet-assay, epithelial proliferation by immunohistochemistry. Results Aberrant crypt foci number was significantly elevated in Zucker obese a.l. (205.7 ± 65.4 vs. lean 9.5 ± 6.3, P < 0.05) and is reduced by pair feeding in Zucker obese rats (81.4 ± 28.5 vs. obese a.l., P < 0.05). Compared to lean the ACF size was higher in Zucker obese a.l. (2.1 ± 0.3 vs. lean 1.3 ± 0.2., P < 0.05) but is not reduced by pair feeding (1.7 ± 0.2; P > 0.05). While ACF number and size were modulated by genotype and/or pair feeding the DMH-induced DNA damage and hyperproliferation in colonocytes did not differ significantly between groups. Regression analysis showed that plasma parameters associated with lipid-metabolism (triglycerides, cholesterol, malondialdehyde) significantly correlated with the ACF number and size while parameters linked to carbohydrate-metabolism (glucose, insulin) were weaker determinants. Conclusion Obesity or pair feeding-associated modulation of ACF correlate with parameters related to lipid-metabolism but is not accompanied by changes in DNA damage and proliferation.

Evaluation of metabolic syndrome in adults of talca city, chile

Nutrition Journal — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:00:00 +0100

ObjectiveInsulin resistance (IR) is an important risk factor for type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a clustering of metabolic alterations associated to IR; however, there is no international consensus for defining its diagnosis. Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of MS identified by the ATP III and IDF criteria in adults from Talca city. Research and methods- We studied 1007 individuals, aged 18-74, and residents from Talca. MS subjects were defined according to ATP III (three altered factors) and IDF criteria (patients with waist circumference >80/90 cm (W/M) and two others altered factors). Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to the IDF and ATP III criteria was 36.4% and 29.5%, respectively after adjustment for age and sex. The agreement for both criteria was 89%. The prevalence in men was higher than in women for both MS definitions, although not significant. MS probability increased with age, and the highest risk was in the 57-68 age group (ATP-MS) and 53-72 age group (IDF-MS). Hypertension, high triglycerides and abdominal obesity are the most frequent alterations in MS. Conclusions: MS prevalence in adults was higher when diagnosed with IDF than with ATP criterion; in both, age is directly related with the MS presence. The MS subjects showed higher levels of blood pressure, waist circumference and plasma triglycerides. Considering our results, it is worrisome that one third of our population has a high risk of developing DM2 and CVD in the future. (Source: Nutrition Journal)

Dietary docosahexaenoic acid-rich diacylglycerols ameliorate hepatic steatosis and alter hepatic gene expressions in c57bl/6j-lepob/ob mice

Molecular Nutrition — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:00:00 +0100

We examined the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-enriched structured lipids-diacylglycerol (SL-DG), which were synthesized using soybean oil (SO) and algae oil (AO), on hepatic lipid metabolism and the mRNA expression of genes involved in hepatic steatosis of C57BL/6J-Lepob/ob compared to the SL-triacylglycerol (TG). The animals were fed a high-fat (10% lard and 10% test oils) and high-cholesterol (0.2% cholesterol) diet for 12 weeks. Mice fed SL-DG showed a lower total white adipose tissue weight and plasma triglyceride concentration than the SO group. Reduction of hepatic triglyceride content in the SL-DG group was related with the suppression of hepatic enzyme activities for fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis along with fecal triglyceride excretion compared to the SL-TG. SL-DG also lowered hepatic cholesterol levels by suppressing cholesterol regulating enzyme activity compared to the SO group. Moreover, SL-DG lowered the mRNA expressions of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 and its target genes than TG-form oils (SO, AO and SL-TG) in the liver. Thus, the current results suggest that DHA-enriched SL-DG oil used in this study is beneficial for ameliorating hepatic steatosis in obese animal model by improving hepatic fatty acid and cholesterol metabolic enzyme activity and their gene expression.

Dimethoxycurcumin, a synthetic curcumin analogue with higher metabolic stability, inhibits no production, inducible no synthase expression and nf-[kgr]b activation in raw264.7 macrophages activated with lps

Molecular Nutrition — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:00:00 +0100

Excess production of nitric oxide (NO) by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in activated macrophages is linked to acute and chronic inflammation. Thus, it would be valuable to develop inhibitors of NO and/or iNOS for potential therapeutic use. We investigated whether dimethoxycurcumin (DiMC), a synthetic curcumin analogue with higher metabolic stability over curcumin, could inhibit NO production and iNOS expression in activated macrophages. RAW264.7 macrophages were activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the absence or presence of DiMC, which contains four methoxy groups at two aromatic rings, curcumin containing two, bis-demethoxycurcumin (BDMC) containing none, or tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) containing two but lacking conjugated double bonds in the central seven-carbon chain. NO production, iNOS expression and NF-[kappa]B activity were examined. DiMC, curcumin and BDMC inhibited NO production, iNOS expression and NF-[kappa]B activation, with DiMC being the most effective, followed by curcumin and BDMC. THC failed to inhibit NO production, iNOS expression and NF-[kappa]B activation. Our results suggest that DiMC inhibits NO production, iNOS expression and NF-[kappa]B activation in LPS-activated macrophages, which may be due not only to the conjugated double bonds but also the increased number of methoxy groups.

Selenium attenuates pro-inflammatory gene expression in macrophages

Molecular Nutrition — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:00:00 +0100

Selenium (Se) is an important element required for the optimal functioning of the immune system. Particularly in macrophages, which play a pivotal role in immune regulation, Se acts as a major antioxidant in the form of selenoproteins to mitigate the cytotoxic effects of reactive oxygen species. Here we describe the role of Se as an anti-inflammatory agent and its effect on the macrophage signal transduction pathways elicited by bacterial endotoxin, LPS. Our studies demonstrate that supplementation of Se to macrophages (Se-deficient) leads to a significant decrease in the LPS-induced expression of two important pro-inflammatory genes, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and tumor necrosis factor-[alpha] (TNF-[alpha]) via the inhibition of MAP kinase pathways. Furthermore, Se-deficiency in mice exacerbated the LPS-mediated infiltration of macrophages into the lungs suggesting that Se status is a crucial host factor that regulates inflammation. In summary, our results indicate that Se plays an important role as an anti-inflammatory agent by tightly regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in immune cells.

Cytoprotective effects of phenolic acids on methylglyoxal-induced apoptosis in neuro-2a cells

Molecular Nutrition — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:00:00 +0100

In the process of glycation, methylglyoxal is a reactive dicarbonyl compound physiologically generated as an intermediate of glycolysis, and is found in high levels in blood or tissue of diabetic models. Biological glycation has been commonly implicated in the development of diabetic microvascular complications of neuropathy. Increasing evidence suggests that neuronal cell cycle regulatory failure followed by apoptosis is an important mechanism in the development of diabetic neuropathy complication. Naturally occurring antioxidants, especially phenolic acids have been recommended as the major bioactive compounds to prevent chronic diseases and promote health benefits. The objective of this study was to investigate the inhibitory abilities of phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, syringic acid and vanillic acid) on methylglyoxal-induced mouse Neuro-2A neuroblastoma (Neuro-2A) cell apoptosis in the progression of diabetic neuropathy. The data indicated that methylglyoxal induced mouse Neuro-2A neuroblastoma (Neuro-2A) cell apoptosis via alternation of mitochondria membrane potential and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, activation of caspase-3, and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signal pathways (JNK and p38) participated in the methylglyoxal-induced Neuro-2A cell apoptosis process. Treatment of Neuro-2A cells with phenolic acids markedly suppresses cell apoptosis induced by methylglyoxal, suggesting that phenolic acids possess cytoprotective ability in the prevention of diabetic neuropathy complication.

Tocotrienol-rich fraction of palm oil exhibits anti-inflammatory property by suppressing the expression of inflammatory mediators in human monocytic cells

Molecular Nutrition — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:00:00 +0100

Tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) of palm oil has been shown to possess potent antioxidant, anticancer, and cholesterol lowering activities. In this study, our aim was to examine the effects of TRF on LPS-induced inflammatory response through measuring the production of inflammatory mediators, namely nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cytokines (TNF-[alpha], IL-4, and IL-8), cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2), and nuclear factor-[kappa]B (NF-[kappa]B) in human monocytic (THP-1) cells. At concentrations 0.5-5.0 [mu]g/mL, TRF dose-dependently protected against LPS-induced cell death. At same concentrations, TRF also showed potent anti-inflammatory activity as demonstrated by a dose-dependent inhibition of LPS (1 [mu]g/mL)-induced release of NO and PGE2, and a significant decrease in the transcription of proinflammatory cytokines. TRF at 1.0 [mu]g/mL significantly blocked the LPS induction of iNOS and COX-2 expression, but not COX-1. This anti-inflammatory activity was further supported by the inhibition of NF-[kappa]B expression. These results conclude that TRF possesses potent anti-inflammatory activity, and its mechanism of action could be through the inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 production, as well as NF-[kappa]B expression.
