Abstract
Tons of broiler livers are produced yearly in Taiwan but always considered waste. Our team has successfully patented and characterized a chicken-liver hydrolysate (CLH) with several biofunctions. Chronic alcohol consumption causes hepatosteatosis or even hepatitis, cirrhosis, and cancers. This study was to investigate the hepatoprotection of CLH-based supplement (GBHP01™) against chronic alcohol consumption. Results showed that GBHP01™ could reduce (p < .05) enlarged liver size, lipid accumulation/steatosis scores, and higher serum AST, ALT, γ-GT, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels induced by an alcoholic liquid diet. GBHP01™ reduced liver inflammation and apoptosis in alcoholic liquid-diet-fed mice via decreasing TBARS, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, increasing reduced GSH/TEAC levels and activities of SOD, CAT and GPx, as well as downregulating CYP2E1, BAX/BCL2, Cleaved CASPASE-9/Total CASPASE-9 and Active CASPASE-3/Pro-CASPASE-3 (p < .05). Furthermore, GBHP01™ elevated hepatic alcohol metabolism (ADH and ALDH activities) (p < .05). In conclusion, this study prove the hepatoprotection of GBHP01™ against alcohol consumption.

Luo J, Chen M, Ji H, Su W, Song W, Zhang D, Su W, Liu S. Hypolipidemic and Anti-Obesity Effect of Anserine on Mice Orally Administered with High-Fat Diet via Regulating SREBP-1, NLRP3, and UCP-1. Mol Nutr Food Res 2024; 68:e2300471. [PMID: 38400696 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.202300471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
To investigate the efficacy of anserine on antiobesity, C57BL/6 mice are orally administered with a high-fat diet (HFD) and different doses of anserine (60, 120, and 240 mg/kg/day) for 16 weeks. Body weight, lipid, and epididymal fat content in mice are measured, and their liver damage is observed. The results display that the body weight, epididymal fat content, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) content in anserine groups are decreased by 4.36-18.71%, 7.57-35.12%, and 24.32-44.40%, respectively. To further investigate the antiobesity mechanism of anserine, the expression of SREBP-1, NLRP3, NF-κB p65 (p65), and p-NF-κB p65 (p-p65) proteins in the liver and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α (PGC1-α) and UCP-1 proteins in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is analyzed by Western blot. Results show that anserine can significantly decrease the expression of the NLRP3, p65, p-p65, and the SREBP-1 proteins and increase the expression of the PGC1-α and UCP-1 proteins. This study demonstrates that anserine lowered blood lipids and prevented obesity; its antiobesity mechanism may be related to the activation of brown fat by inflammation.

Abstract
The protein profiles and properties of chicken egg white and its three components (thick egg white, TKEW; thin egg white, TNEW; and chalaza, CLZ) were comprehensively compared. The proteomes of TNEW and TKEW are relatively similar, but the abundance of mucin-5B and mucin-6 (the two subunits of ovomucin) is significantly higher in TKEW than in TNEW (42.97% and 870.04%, respectively), while the lysozymes in TKEW are 32.57% higher (p < 0.05) than those in TNEW. Meanwhile, the properties (including the spectroscopy, viscosity, and turbidity) of TKEW and TNEW are significantly different. Comprehensively, it is speculated that the electrostatic interactions between lysozyme and ovomucin are the main reason for the high viscosity and turbidity of TKEW. Compared with egg white sample (EW), CLZ has a higher abundance of insoluble proteins (mucin-5B, 4.23-fold; mucin-6, 6.89-fold) and a lower abundance of soluble proteins (ovalbumin-related protein X, 89.35% lower than EW; ovalbumin-related protein Y, 78.51% lower; ovoinhibitor, 62.08% lower; riboflavin-binding protein, 93.67% lower). These compositional differences should explain the insolubility of CLZ. These findings are important references for deepening the research and development of egg white in the future, such as the thinning of egg white, the molecular basis of changes in egg white properties, and the differential application of TKEW and TNEW.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12020493. [PMID: 36830051 PMCID: PMC9952107 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12020493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Chicken-liver hydrolysates (CLHs) have been characterized as performing several biofunctions by our team. This study aimed to investigate if a CLH-based supplement (GBHP01TM) can ameliorate liver fibrogenesis induced by thioacetamide (TAA) treatment. Our results showed that the TAA treatment caused lower body weight gains and enlarged livers, as well as higher serum ALT, AST, and ALP levels (p < 0.05). This liver inflammatory and fibrotic evidence was ameliorated (p < 0.05) by supplementing with GBHP01TM; this partially resulted from its antioxidant abilities, including decreased TBARS values but increased TEAC levels, reduced GSH contents and catalase/GPx activities in the livers of TAA-treated rats (p < 0.05). Additionally, fewer nodules were observed in the appearance of the livers of TAA-treated rats after supplementing with GBHP01TM. Similarly, supplementing GBHP01TM decreased fibrotic scars and the fibrotic score in the livers of TAA-treated rats (p < 0.05). Moreover, the increased hepatic IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels after TAA treatment were also alleviated by supplementing with GBHP01TM (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, GBHP01TM could decrease the ratio of LC3B II/LC3B I, but upregulated P62 and Rab7 in the livers of TAA-treated rats (p < 0.05). Taking these results together, the CLH-based supplement (GBHP01TM) can be characterized as a natural agent against liver fibrogenesis.

A Brief Overview of Oxidative Stress in Adipose Tissue with a Therapeutic Approach to Taking Antioxidant Supplements. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10040594.

Abstract
One of the leading causes of obesity associated with oxidative stress (OS) is excessive consumption of nutrients, especially fast-foods, and a sedentary lifestyle, characterized by the ample accumulation of lipid in adipose tissue (AT). When the body needs energy, the lipid is broken down into glycerol (G) and free fatty acids (FFA) during the lipolysis process and transferred to various tissues in the body. Materials secreted from AT, especially adipocytokines (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), are impressive in causing inflammation and OS of AT. There are several ways to improve obesity, but researchers have highly regarded the use of antioxidant supplements due to their neutralizing properties in removing ROS. In this review, we have examined the AT response to OS to antioxidant supplements focusing on animal studies. The results are inconsistent due to differences in the study duration and diversity in animals (strain, age, and sex). Therefore, there is a need for different studies, especially in humans.

Abstract
Approximately 400 metric tons of egg chalazae, a byproduct in the liquid-egg processing plant, are produced yearly but always regarded as a waste in Taiwan. Our team successfully developed a crude egg chalaza hydrolysate by protease-A digestion (CCH-A). Free branched-chain amino acids, 3-aminoisobutyric acid, and β-alanine, and anserine were assayed in the CCH-A used in this study. Besides, the in vitro bile-acid binding ability and inhibitory lipase activity of CCH-As were demonstrated. Then, high-fat diet feeding for 10 wk caused hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and hepatosteatosis in hamsters (P < 0.05). However, CCH-A co-treatment decreased serum/liver triglyceride levels and lipid accumulation in livers by increasing daily fecal lipid/bile-acid outputs, upregulating fatty-acid β oxidation, and downregulating fatty-acid biosynthesis in livers (P < 0.05). CCH-A co-treatment also amended insulin resistance, augmented hepatic antioxidant capacity, and decreased liver damages and inflammatory responses (P < 0.05). Taken together, our results do not only demonstrate the hepatoprotective effects of CCH-As against a chronic high-fat dietary habit, achieving effects similar to Simvastatin, but also decrease the environmental burden of handling chalazae in the liquid-egg industry.

Novel Pickering High Internal Phase Emulsion Stabilized by Food Waste-Hen Egg Chalaza. Foods 2021; 10:foods10030599.

Abstract
A massive amount of chalaza with nearly 400 metric tons is produced annually as waste in the liquid-egg industry. The present study aimed to look for ways to utilize chalaza as a natural emulsifier for high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) at the optimal production conditions to expand the utilization of such abundant material. To the author’s knowledge, for the first time, we report the usage of hen egg chalaza particles as particulate emulsifiers for Pickering (HIPEs) development. The chalaza particles with partial wettability were fabricated at different pH or ionic strengths by freeze-drying. The surface electricity of the chalaza particles was neutralized when the pH was adjusted to 4, where the chalaza contained a particle size around 1500 nm and held the best capability to stabilize the emulsions. Similarly, the chalaza reaches proper electrical charging (−6 mv) and size (700 nm) after the ionic strength was modified to 0.6 M. Following the characterization of chalaza particles, we successfully generated stable Pickering HIPEs with up to 86% internal phase at proper particle concentrations (0.5–2%). The emulsion contained significant stability against coalescence and flocculation during long term storage due to the electrical hindrance raised by the chalaza particles which absorbed on the oil–water interfaces. Different rheological models were tested on the formed HIPEs, indicating the outstanding stability of such emulsions. Concomitantly, a percolating 3D-network was formed in the Pickering HIPES stabilized by chalaza which provided the emulsions with viscoelastic and self-standing features. Moreover, the current study provides an attractive strategy to convert liquid oils to viscoelastic soft solids without artificial trans fats.
