Abstract
High protein and fiber diets are becoming increasingly popular for weight loss; however, the benefits or risks of high protein and fiber diets with a normal calorie level for healthy individuals still need to be elucidated. In this study, we explored the role and mechanisms of long-term high protein and/or konjac glucomannan diets on the metabolic health of healthy mouse models. We found that high konjac glucomannan contents improved the glucose tolerance of mice and both high protein and high konjac glucomannan contents improved the serum lipid profile but increased the TNF-α levels. In the liver, high dietary protein contents reduced the expression of the FASN gene related to fatty acid synthesis. Interactions of dietary protein and fiber were shown in the signaling pathways related to lipid and glucose metabolism of the liver and the inflammatory status of the colon, wherein the high protein and high konjac glucomannan diet downregulated the expression of the SREBF1 and FXR genes in the liver and downregulated the expression of TNF-α genes in the colon compared to the high protein diet. High konjac glucomannan contents reduced the colonic secondary bile acid levels including DCA and LCA; this was largely associated with the changed microbiota profile and also contributed to improved lipid and glucose homeostasis. In conclusion, high protein diets improved lipid homeostasis and were not a risk to metabolic health, while high fiber diets improved glucose and lipid homeostasis by modulating colonic microbiota and bile acid profiles, and a high protein diet supplemented with konjac glucomannan might improve hepatic lipid homeostasis and colonic inflammation in healthy mouse models through long-term intervention.

Effects of Four Different Dietary Fibre Supplements on Weight Loss and Lipid and Glucose Serum Profiles during Energy Restriction in Patients with Traits of Metabolic Syndrome: A Comparative, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study. Foods 2023; 12:foods12112122. [PMID: 37297364 DOI: 10.3390/foods12112122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Obesity and its associated complications require various lifestyle changes and treatment options. Dietary supplements are considered an attractive alternative to traditional therapy, mainly because they are accessible to the general population. The aim of this study was to investigate the additive effects of a combination of energy restriction (ER) and four dietary supplements on changes in the anthropometric and biochemical parameters in 100 overweight or obese participants who were randomly assigned one of the dietary fibre supplements containing different dietary fibres or a placebo for 8 weeks. The results confirmed that fibre supplements plus ER significantly (p < 0.01) reduced the body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass, and visceral fat and ameliorated the lipid profile and inflammation at 4 and 8 weeks after the start of the study, while in the placebo group, significant differences in some parameters were observed only after 8 weeks of ER. A fibre supplement containing glucomannan, inulin, psyllium, and apple fibre was the most effective at reducing the BMI, body weight, and CRP (p = 0.018 for BMI and body weight and p = 0.034 for CRP compared to placebo at the end of the intervention). Overall, the results suggest that dietary fibre supplements in combination with ER may have additional effects on weight loss and the metabolic profile. Therefore, taking dietary fibre supplements may be a feasible approach to improve weight and metabolic health in obese and overweight individuals.

Abstract
Coix seed is a nutrient-rich food and traditional Chinese medicine with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Polysaccharides from Coix seed have been rarely investigated for structure and activities. In this study, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects were investigated in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that Coix seed had a significant influence on reducing the number of writhing, increasing the pain threshold and alleviating the swelling degree caused by acute inflammation. Column chromatography was used to obtain two active compounds of Coix seed. Compound 1 was (1→6)-α-glucan with a molecular weight of 6.81 × 105 Da. The chemical connection of compound 2 was as follows: α-Frup (2→ [1)-α-Glcp (6]5→1)-α-Glcp (4→1)-α-Glcp, which was isolated in Coix seed for the first time. LPS-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 cells was well inhibited by compounds. These findings offered a preliminary investigation into the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of Coix seed, which may be helpful for application.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of a novel exopolysaccharide EPSRam12, produced by Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Ram12, against D-galactose-induced brain injury and gut microbiota dysbiosis in mice. The findings demonstrate that EPSRam12 increases the level of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, total antioxidant capacity, and the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, while decreasing malonaldehyde, nitric oxide, pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, and the mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and the activation of nuclear factor-kappa-B in the brain tissues of D-galactose-treated mice. Further analyses reveal that EPSRam12 improves gut mucosal barrier function and increases the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the intestine while restoring gut microbial diversity by enriching the abundance of SCFA-producing microbial genera Prevotella, Clostridium, Intestinimonas, and Acetatifactor while decreasing potential pathobionts including Helicobacter. These findings of antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects in the brain and ameliorative effects on epithelial integrity, SCFAs and microbiota in the gut, provide novel insights into the effect of EPSRam12 intervention on the gut–microbiome–brain axis and should facilitate prospective understanding of microbial exopolysaccharide for improved host health.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) is a kind of age-related, airflow-obstruction disease mostly caused by cigarette smoke. However, the relationship between COPD and lung cellular senescence is still not fully understood. Here, we found silencing Pellino-1 could inhibit the protein level of P21. Then, through constructing cell lines expressed ubiquitin-HA, we found that the E3 ubiquitin ligase Pellino-1 could bind to senescence marker p21 and modify p21 by K63-site ubiquitination by co-IP assays. Furthermore, we found that p21-mediated lung cellular senescence could be inhibited by silencing Pellino-1 in a D-galactose senescence mice model. Moreover, by constructing a COPD mouse model with shPellino-1 adenovirus, we found that silencing Pellino-1 could inhibit COPD and inflammation via reduction of SASPs regulated by p21. Taken together, our study findings elucidated that silencing E3 ligase Pellino-1 exhibits therapeutic potential for treatment to attenuate the progression of lung cellular senescence and COPD.

Abstract
With the global increase of the elderly population, the improvement of the treatment for various aging-related diseases and the extension of a healthy lifespan have become some of the most important current medical issues. In order to understand the developmental mechanisms of aging and aging-related disorders, animal models are essential to conduct relevant studies. Among them, mice have become one of the most prevalently used model animals for aging-related studies due to their high similarity to humans in terms of genetic background and physiological structure, as well as their short lifespan and ease of reproduction. This review will discuss some of the common and emerging mouse models of accelerated aging and related chronic diseases in recent years, with the aim of serving as a reference for future application in fundamental and translational research.

Abstract
Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) often results in intrauterine and feto-placental inflammation, and increases the risks of fetal programming of metabolic diseases. Intake of prebiotic is reported beneficial. However, its effects on HFD during pregnancy and lactation is not known. We evaluated the maternal intake of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and its impact on placental inflammation, offspring's adiposity, glucose, and lipid metabolism in their later life. Female Golden Syrian hamsters were fed with a control diet (CD, 26.4 % energy from fat) or HFD (60.7% energy from fat) in the presence or absence of FOS from preconception until lactation. All pups were switched over to CD after lactation and continued until the end. Placental inflammation was upregulated in HFD-fed dam, as measured by a high concentration of hsCRP in the serum and amniotic fluid. Neutrophil infiltration was significantly increased in the decidua through the chorionic layer of the placenta. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as COX2, NFκβ, IL-8, TGFβ mRNA was increased in the chorioamniotic membrane (P <.05). The HFD/CD hamsters had more adiposity, higher triglyceride, and low HDL at 12 months of age compared to CD/CD (P <.05). However, HFD+FOS/CD-fed hamsters prevented adverse effects such as placental inflammation, neutrophil infiltration, glucose, and lipid profiles in the offspring (P <.05). Anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering effects of FOS may reduce placental inflammation by lowering neutrophil infiltration and decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Intake of FOS during pregnancy may be beneficial in maintaining lipid metabolism and preventing excess adiposity for mother and their offspring.

TMT-based quantitative proteomic analysis of hepatic tissue reveals the effects of dietary cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside-rich extract on alleviating D-galactose-induced aging in mice. J Proteomics 2020; 232:104042. [PMID: 33161165 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2020.104042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2020] [Revised: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside (CY3D5G) derivatives as major pigments in red cabbage exhibit in vitro antioxidant effects. This study evaluated the effects of CY3D5G-rich extract on oxidative stress in D-galactose-induced accelerated aging. Thirty male C57BL/6 J mice were divided into three groups: a normal control group and two D-galactose-injected groups orally administered with or without CY3D5G-rich extract (700 μmol/kg body weight). Dietary supplementation of CY3D5G-rich extract for 6 weeks increased superoxide dismutase activity, glutathione peroxidase activity, and total antioxidant capacity while suppressed malondialdehyde content in serum (p < 0.05) and tissues. Hepatic proteome analysis revealed that 243 proteins were significantly modulated by experimental treatment (p < 0.05). CY3D5G-rich extract treatment suppressed proteins involved in electron transport chain and up-regulated proteins that play important roles in glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and actin cytoskeleton. These changes in above metabolic pathways may contribute to reducing the production and release of ROS and attenuating oxidative damage in aged mice. SIGNIFICANCE: Anthocyanins are the most abundant dietary flavonoids with potential health benefits. The proteomic analysis of mice liver in this study revealed the effect of cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside (CY3D5G) consumption in D-galactose-induced accelerated aging. In total, 2054 protein groups were quantified in all samples without any missing value, and 243 protein groups were identified with statistical significance (p < 0.05). Bioinformatics analysis suggested that electron transport chain, glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and actin cytoskeleton were closely correlated with CY3D5G treatment. These findings provide useful information to understand the anti-aging effect of anthocyanin, and the results of which could promote the use of anthocyanins in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Maltol, a maillard reaction product from ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer), has been confirmed to inhibit oxidative stress in several animal models. Its beneficial effect on oxidative stress related brain aging is still unclear. In this study, the mouse model of d-galactose (d-Gal)-induced brain aging was employed to investigate the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of maltol. Maltol treatment significantly restored memory impairment in mice as determined by the Morris water maze tests. Long-term d-Gal treatment reduced expression of cholinergic regulators, i.e., the cholineacetyltransferase (ChAT) (0.456 ± 0.10 vs 0.211 ± 0.03 U/mg prot), the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (36.4 ± 5.21 vs 66.5 ± 9.96 U/g). Maltol treatment prevented the reduction of ChAT and AChE in the hippocampus. Maltol decreased oxidative stress levels by reducing levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) production in the brain and by elevating antioxidative enzymes. Furthermore, maltol treatment minimized oxidative stress by increasing the phosphorylation levels of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1). The above results clearly indicate that supplementation of maltol diminishes d-Gal-induced behavioral dysfunction and neurological deficits via activation of the PI3K/Akt-mediated Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in brain. Maltol might become a potential drug to slow the brain aging process and stimulate endogenous antioxidant defense capacity. This study provides the novel evidence that maltol may slow age-associated brain aging.

Abstract
Effects of Maillard reaction products derived from 1 to 3 kDa soybean peptides (MRPF3) on aging ICR mice were investigated. Seven animal groups were established for 5 weeks, including one normal group and six D-galactose (1000 mg kg-1/day) treated groups. Aging control was D-galactose + saline solution, and positive controls were D-galactose + ascorbic acid (Vc) (400 mg kg-1/day) and oligofructose (400 mg kg-1/day), respectively, while the test groups are D-galactose + high (800 mg kg-1/day), medium (400 mg kg-1/day) and low (200 mg kg-1/day) doses of MRPF3. Compared with the aging controls, food intake, body weights and organ indexes returned to normal after feeding with MRPF3, and the color of feces as well as the fluorescence intensity of urine increased. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the liver significantly decreased with the intake of MRPF3, and the activities of SOD and GSH-Px and the total antioxidant capacity of serum significantly increased. The abundance ratio of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes significantly decreased in MRPF3 groups, and the abundance of Lactobacillus significantly increased, while potentially pathogenic bacteria such as Porphyromonadaceae significantly decreased. Our results showed that MRPF3 might offer a potent retardation potential for aging.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and its correlation with degenerative diseases have been attracting wide attention. In the present study, Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) CCFM10 and RS15-3 were examined for their abilities to resist oxidative stress in d-galactose (d-gal)-exposed mice. Both strains significantly reversed the changes of hepatic total antioxidant capacity, catalase activity and glutathione content induced by d-gal. The antioxidative abilities of CCFM10 were higher than those of RS15-3. Moreover, the composition of the mice microbiota was changed by d-gal injection, which was characterized by the up-regulated ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes. At the genus level, the relative abundance of Lactobacillus reduced and the proportion of one genus of Clostridiales increased. However, in probiotic groups, the composition of the microbiota was similar to that of the control group at the phylum and the genus levels, suggesting that probiotic administration can restore the microbiota. Our study suggests that the protective effects of L. plantarum strains on the host microbiota could be one of the mechanisms of their resistance to oxidative stress. Besides this, through comparing the antioxidative capacity of two strains, we also found that the antioxidative capacity of L. plantarum might be strain-specific.

Abstract
Aging is a complex issue, which results in a progressive decline process in cellular protection and physiological functions. Illustrating the causes of aging and pharmaceutical interference with the aging process has been a pivotal issue for thousands of years. Sargassum fusiforme (S. fusiforme), a kind of brown alga, is also named the "longevity vegetable" as it is not only a kind of food, but also used as an herb in traditional Chinese Medicine for maintaining health and treatment of thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease and so on. But how S. fusiforme promotes longevity is vastly equivocal. We got clues from S. fusiforme polysaccharides, which exhibited antioxidant activity, but the underlying mechanisms remained unclear. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant effect and the possible mechanisms that S. fusiforme polysaccharides have against d-galactose-induced aging and chronic aging. We selected the SFPS as the candidate for antioxidant defense evaluation, which is a type of S. fusiforme polysaccharide with strong free radical scavenging activity and non-toxicity. It revealed that the antioxidant defense of the d-galactose-induced mice was markedly recovered when they were intragastrically administrated with the SFPS. However, oxidative damage may not be the only cause of aging. We further evaluated the function of the SFPS in the chronic aging mice. Intriguingly, we even found an obvious aging phenotype in the middle aged male ICR mice, which showed a significant decline in Nrf2-dependent cytoprotection. When 9-month old male ICR mice were treated with the SFPS for 2 months or even 11 months to their mean survival age, experimental measurements showed that the SFPS significantly promoted the antioxidant defense and mitochondrial integrity during aging. Furthermore, we suggest that the SFPS promotes Nrf2-dependent cytoprotection by upregulating the nuclear Nrf2 translocation, which may be mediated by p21 and JNK dependent pathways. These results suggest that the SFPS may decelerate the aging process by enhancing Nrf2-dependent cytoprotection, especially antioxidant defense.

Abstract
Melatonin acts as a pleiotropic agent in various age-related neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we examined the underlying neuroprotective mechanism of melatonin against D-galactose-induced memory and synaptic dysfunction, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. D-galactose was administered (100 mg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.)) for 60 days. After 30 days of D-galactose administration, vehicle (same volume) or melatonin (10 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered for 30 days. Our behavioral (Morris water maze and Y-maze test) results revealed that chronic melatonin treatment alleviated D-galactose-induced memory impairment. Additionally, melatonin treatment reversed D-galactose-induced synaptic disorder via increasing the level of memory-related pre-and postsynaptic protein markers. We also determined that melatonin enhances memory function in the D-galactose-treated mice possibly via reduction of elevated ROS and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). Furthermore, Western blot and morphological results showed that melatonin treatment significantly reduced D-galactose-induced neuroinflammation through inhibition of microgliosis (Iba-1) and astrocytosis (GFAP), and downregulating other inflammatory mediators such as p-IKKβ, p-NF-K B65, COX2, NOS2, IL-1β, and TNFα. Moreover, melatonin lowered the oxidative stress kinase p-JNK which suppressed various apoptotic markers, that is, cytochrome C, caspase-9, caspase-3 and PARP-1, and prevent neurodegeneration. Hence, melatonin attenuated the D-galactose-induced memory impairment, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration possibly through RAGE/NF-K B/JNK pathway. Taken together, our data suggest that melatonin could be a promising, safe and endogenous compatible antioxidant candidate for age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD).
