Abstract
Lipid metabolism plays an important role in energy homeostasis maintenance in response to stress. Nowadays, hyperlipidemia-related chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and fatty liver pose significant health challenges. Dietary polysaccharides (DPs) have gained attention for their effective lipid-lowering properties. This review examines the multifaceted mechanisms that DPs employ to lower lipid levels in subjects with hyperlipidemia. DPs could directly inhibit lipid intake and absorption, promote lipid excretion, and regulate key enzymes involved in lipid metabolism pathways, including triglyceride and cholesterol anabolism and catabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and bile acid synthesis. Additionally, DPs indirectly improve lipid homeostasis by modulating gut microbiota composition and alleviating oxidative stress. Moreover, the lipid-lowering mechanisms of particular structural DPs (including β-glucan, pectin, glucomannan, inulin, arabinoxylan, and fucoidan) are summarized. The relationship between the structure and lipid-lowering activity of DPs is also discussed based on current researches. Finally, potential breakthroughs and future directions in the development of DPs in lipid-lowering activity are discussed. The paper could provide a reference for further exploring the mechanism of DPs for lipid regulations and utilizing DPs as lipid-lowering dietary ingredients.

Development and characterization of a fucoidan-based nanoemulsion using Nigella sativa oil for improvement of anti-obesity activity of fucoxanthin in an obese rat model. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 235:123867. [PMID: 36870664 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
The anti-obesity activity of encapsulated fucoxanthin in fucoidan-based nanoemulsion was investigated. Then, high-fat diet (HFD) induced-obese rats were fed along with different treatments including administration of encapsulated fucoxanthin (10 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg/day), fucoidan (70 mg/kg), Nigella sativa oil (250 mg/kg), metformin (200 mg/kg), and free form of fucoxanthin (50 mg/kg) by oral gavage daily for 7 weeks. The study discovered that fucoidan-based nanoemulsions with a low and high dose of fucoxanthin had droplet size in the range of 181.70-184.87 nm and encapsulation efficacy of 89.94-91.68 %, respectively. Also exhibited 75.86 % and 83.76 % fucoxanthin in vitro release. The TEM images and FTIR spectera confirmed the particle size and encapsulation of fucoxanthin, respectively. Moreover, in vivo results revealed that encapsulated fucoxanthin reduced body and liver weight compared with a HFD group (p < 0.05). Biochemical parameters (FBS, TG, TC, HDL, LDL) and liver enzymes (ALP, AST, and ALT) were decreased after fucoxanthin and fucoidan administration. According to the histopathological analysis, fucoxanthin and fucoidan attenuated lipid accumulation in the liver.

Preclinical insights into fucoidan as a nutraceutical compound against perfluorooctanoic acid-associated obesity via targeting endoplasmic reticulum stress. Front Nutr 2022; 9:950130. [PMID: 36034923 PMCID: PMC9413161 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.950130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Obesity is a growing global health problem; it has been forecasted that over half of the global population will be obese by 2030. Obesity is complicated with many diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, leading to an economic impact on society. Other than diet, exposure to environmental pollutants is considered a risk factor for obesity. Exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was found to impair hepatic lipid metabolism, resulting in obesity. In this study, we applied network pharmacology and systematic bioinformatics analysis, such as gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses, together with molecular docking, to investigate the targets of fucoidan for treating PFOA-associated obesity through the regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Our results identified ten targets of fucoidan, such as glucosylceramidase beta (GBA), glutathione-disulfide reductase (GSR), melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)2, MMP9, nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 (NFKB1), RELA Proto-Oncogene, NF-KB Subunit (RELA), nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 2 (NR1I2), proliferation-activated receptor delta (PPARD), and cellular retinoic acid binding protein 2 (CRABP2). GO and KEGG enrichment analyses highlighted their involvement in the pathogenesis of obesity, such as lipid and fat metabolisms. More importantly, the gene cluster is responsible for obesity-associated diseases and disorders, such as insulin resistance (IR), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and diabetic cardiomyopathy, via the control of signaling pathways. The findings of this report provide evidence that fucoidan is a potential nutraceutical product against PFOA-associated obesity through the regulation of ERS.

Abstract
The rising prevalence of metabolic diseases represents a major challenge to public health worldwide. Therefore, there is a strong need to conduct research on the effectiveness of complementary and alternative therapies for metabolic disorders. Fucoidan is a fucose-enriched and sulfated polysaccharide extracted from ubiquitous brown seaweed. The antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antiobesity, and hypolipidemic effects of fucoidan have been reported in preclinical research and clinical trials. This study aims to review the mechanisms of action and the experimental and clinical use of different types of fucoidan for the treatment of metabolic diseases.
