4-Methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate (MTBI) is a pungent bioactive constituent found in daikon. However, MTBI is immediately hydrolyzed to 3-hydroxy-methylene-2-thioxopyrrolidine in grated daikon. In this study, we evaluated whether MTBI in grated daikon complexed with α-cyclodextrin (αCD) has
The aim of this study is to investigate the signaling pathways by which allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) reduces adipocyte differentiation and the efficacy of AITC in suppressing galectin-12 levels as a therapeutic for high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity.
AITC presents anti-adipogenic effects on 3T3-L1
Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) are organosulfur phytochemicals rich in cruciferous vegetables. We investigated the antiobesity and antihepatosteatosis activities of BITC and PEITC and the working mechanisms involved. C57BL/6J mice were fed a low-fat diet (LFD), a
We previously reported that a high-fat diet (HFD) and M2-macrophages induce changes in tumor microenvironments and stimulate tumor growth and metastasis of 4T1 mammary cancer cells in BALB/c mice. In this study, we attempted to determine whether benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) inhibits HFD-induced
Body weight and food intake are significantly reduced in rats during development of dietary obesity following chronic central administration of mu (beta-funaltrexamine, BFNA), mu1 (naloxonazine), kappa1 (nor-binaltorphamine, NBNI), delta1 ([D-Ala2,Leu5,Cys6]-enkephalin, DALCE) and delta2
Acute administration of long-acting general opioid antagonists reduces body weight and food intake in rats. In contrast, chronic administration of short-acting general opioid antagonists produces transient effects. The present study evaluated whether chronic central administration of selective
We examined a possible association between development of diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and dissemination of Chlamydia (Chlamydophila) pneumoniae from lung to peripheral blood. By real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with primers for C. pneumoniae 16S rRNA,
Gut barrier dysfunction may lead to metabolic endotoxaemia and low-grade inflammation. Recent publications have demonstrated gut barrier dysfunction in obesity induced by a diet high in fat, and a pathogenetic role for luminal bile acids has been proposed. We aimed to investigate whether genetically
Diet-induced obesity (DIO) is commonly associated with hyperleptinemia and leptin resistance. Leptin acts centrally to inhibit food intake and increase energy expenditure, thereby preventing body weight gain. Resistance to the biological effects of leptin represents a major obstacle in utilizing
Molecular effects of obesity, a well-established risk factor for breast cancer progression, are mediated by adipocytokine leptin. Given the important role of leptin in breast cancer growth and metastasis, novel strategies to antagonize biological effects of this adipocytokine are much desired. We
BACKGROUND
Obesity is recognized as a leading global health problem, correlated with an increased risk for several chronic diseases. One strategy for weight control management includes the use of vegetables rich in bioactive compounds to counteract weight gain, improve the antioxidant status and
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to show the effect of high glucose concentrations in combination with a pharmaceutical analog of the Na+/H+ antiport inhibitor, cariporide, on scavenger receptor CD36 expression, cell adhesion, and cell migration of human monocytes derived from obese and normal
Obesity is currently considered as a chronic metabolic disease, associated with a high risk of cardiovascular complications. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone has a variety target cells influencing a wide range of processes. Possible counteractions of hyperleptinaemia are currently investigated.
Obesity is associated with systemic oxidative stress and leads to insulin resistance. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a natural dietary isothiocyanate, has been shown to have beneficial effects in improving cellular defense activities against oxidative stress through activation of nuclear factor
We reported previously that obesity is a risk factor for deteriorating cellular immune functions in aging. However, the mechanism by which obesity decreases cellular immunity remains to be elucidated. To determine the mechanism of the decrease in cellular immunity with obesity, lean (Fa/?) and obese
