Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease associated with obesity and diabetes prevalence. The use of natural compounds has become an attractive approach to prevent NAFLD and its progression. Gamma-oryzanol (Orz) is a natural compound whose beneficial effects on chronic metabolic diseases have been reported. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the preventive effect of Orz on the hepatic proteome in a diet induced NAFLD model. Wistar rats were randomly distributed into three experimental groups (n=6/group) according to the diet received for 30 weeks: Control group, high sugar-fat (HSF) group, and HSF+Orz group. The isolated Orz was added to the chow at the dose of 0.5% (w/w). We evaluated the nutritional profile, characterized the presence of steatosis through histological analysis, triglyceride content in liver tissue and hepatic inflammation. Next, we performed label-free quantitative proteomics of hepatic tissue. Network analysis was performed to describe involved protein pathways. NAFLD induction was characterized by the presence of hepatic steatosis. Orz prevented lipid accumulation. The compound prevented alterations of the hepatic proteome, highlighted by the modulation of lipid metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress, xenobiotic metabolism, and the sirtuin signaling pathway. It was possible to identify key altered pathways of NAFLD pathophysiology modulated by Orz which may provide insights into NAFLD treatment targets.

Abstract
Consumption of diets high in sugar and fat is related to the development of Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Carnosine (CAR) is a dipeptide with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action and has been studied for treating diseases. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of CAR on diet-induced MASLD in rats. Male Wistar rats were distributed into 2 groups (17 weeks): normocaloric (Co, n = 12), and hypercaloric diet rich in lipids and simple carbohydrates (MASLD, n = 12). After, the animals were redistributed to begin the treatment with CAR (4 weeks): Co (n = 6), Co + CAR (n = 6), MASLD (n = 6), and MASLD + CAR (n = 6), administered intraperitoneally (250 mg/kg). Evaluations included nutritional, hormonal and metabolic parameters; hepatic steatosis, inflammatory and oxidative markers. MASLD group had a higher adiposity index, systolic blood pressure, glucose, plasma and liver triglycerides and cholesterol, insulin, hepatic steatosis, oxidative markers, and lower PPAR-α (Peroxisome Proliferator-activated receptor α), compared to the Co. CAR attenuated plasma and hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol levels, hepatic steatosis, CD68+ macrophages, and hepatic oxidative markers, in addition to increasing HDL cholesterol levels and PPAR-α, compared to the untreated MASLD group. CAR acts in importants pathophysiological processes of MASLD and may be a therapeutic compound to control the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the major cause of mortality worldwide, whose most prominent risk factor is unhealthy eating habits, such as high fructose intake. Biogenic amines (BAs) perform important functions in the human body. However, the effect of fructose consumption on BA levels is still unclear, as is the association between these and CVD risk factors. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to establish the association between BA levels and CVD risk factors in animals that consumed fructose. METHODS Male Wistar rats received standard chow (n=8) or standard chow + fructose in drinking water (30%) (n=8) over a 24-week period. At the end of this period, the nutritional and metabolic syndrome (MS) parameters and plasmatic BA levels were analyzed. A 5% level of significance was adopted. RESULTS Fructose consumption led to MS, reduced the levels of tryptophan and 5-hydroxitryptophan, and increased histamine. Tryptophan, histamine, and dopamine showed a correlation with metabolic syndrome parameters. CONCLUSION Fructose consumption alters BAs associated with CVD risk factors.

Abstract
Low-grade chronic inflammation in obesity is associated with leptin resistance. In order to alleviate this pathological condition, bioactive compounds capable of attenuating oxidative stress and inflammation have been researched, and bergamot (Citrus bergamia) presents these properties. The aim was to evaluate the effect of bergamot leaves extract on leptin resistance in obese rats. Animals were divided into 2 groups: control diet (C, n = 10) and high sugar-fat diet (HSF, n = 20) for 20 weeks. After detecting hyperleptinemia, animals were divided to begin the treatment with bergamot leaves extract (BLE) for 10 weeks: C + placebo (n = 7), HSF + placebo (n = 7), and HSF + BLE (n = 7) by gavage (50 mg/kg). Evaluations included nutritional, hormonal and metabolic parameters; adipose tissue dysfunction; inflammatory, oxidative markers and hypothalamic leptin pathway. HSF group presented obesity, metabolic syndrome, adipose tissue dysfunction, hyperleptinemia and leptin resistance compared to control group. However, the treated group showed a decrease in caloric consumption and attenuation of insulin resistance. Moreover, dyslipidemia, adipose tissue function, and leptin levels showed an improvement. At the level of the hypothalamus, the treated group showed a reduction of oxidative stress, inflammation and modulation of leptin signaling. In conclusion, BLE properties were able to improve leptin resistance through recovery of the hypothalamic pathway.

Abstract
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), inflammation and oxidative stress contribute to impairment of skeletal muscle function. Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) leaf extract (BLE) has shown protective effects against comorbidities associated with MetS through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The aim of this work was to elucidate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of BLE in skeletal muscles in an experimental model of MetS. Once metabolic syndrome was diagnosed, animals were divided into groups receiving different treatments for 10 weeks, including control diet (n = 10), control + BLE (n = 10), High Sugar-fat diet (HSF) (n = 10), HSF + BLE (n = 10). Evaluation included nutritional, metabolic and hormonal analyses, along with measurements of inflammatory status and oxidative stress in soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles. BLE showed positive metabolic effects, with a reduction of plasma triglycerides and insulin resistance and an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and protective activity against oxidative stress and inflammation in Soleus and EDL muscles in animals with MetS.

Abstract
Bergamot citrus (Citrus bergamia Risso et Poiteau), have been used as a strategy to prevent or treat comorbidities associated with metabolic syndrome parameters, such as cardiorenal metabolic syndrome (CRMS). The aim was to test the effect of bergamot leaf extract on CRMS and associated pathophysiological factors in rats fed with a high sugar-fat diet. Animals were divided into two experimental groups with control diet (Control, n = 30) and high sugar-fat diet (HSF, n = 30) for 20 weeks. Once CRMS was detected, animals were redivided to begin the treatment with Bergamot Leaf Extract (BLE) by gavage (50 mg/kg) for 10 weeks: control diet + placebo (Control, n = 09), control diet + BLE (Control + BLE, n = 09), HSF diet + placebo (HSF, n = 09), HSF + BLE (n = 09). Evaluation included nutritional, metabolic and hormonal analysis; and renal and cardiac parameters. HSF groups presented obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance. BLE showed protection against effects on hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, renal damage, and structural and functional alterations of the heart. Conclusion: Bergamot leaf extract shows potential as a therapeutic to treat CRMS in animals fed with a high sugar-fat diet.

Abstract
(1) Background: The bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) and oxidative stress are important events related to the pathophysiology of preeclampsia (PE). In this present study, we aimed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of glibenclamide (GB) on the NO synthesis, oxidative stress, and antioxidant capacity in endothelial cells incubated with plasma from preeclamptic (PE) and normotensive pregnant women (NT). (2) Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with a plasma pool from 10 NT and 10 PE pregnant women; NO/NOx quantification and ROS levels were assessed by a fluorescence compound; lipid peroxidation was evaluated employing thiobarbituric acid (TBA); and total antioxidant capacity was measured by ferric reduction ability power (FRAP) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). (3) Results: We found that endothelial cells incubated with plasma from PE showed lower NO and NOx levels compared with the NT group. However, GB treatment increased these levels, as well as the antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, a decrease was observed in ROS generation and lipid peroxidation (4) Conclusions: The GB treatment exerted a positive effect on the NO/NOx production by HUVEC incubated with plasma from NT and PE pregnant women, as well as in the reduction in oxidative stress and increase in the antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Oxidative stress is associated with cardiometabolic alterations, and the involvement of excess glucose and fatty acids has been demonstrated in this process. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different hypercaloric diets on cardiac oxidative stress. METHODS Wistar rats were randomized into four groups: control (C), high-sucrose (HS), high-fat (HF), and high-fat with sucrose (HFS). Nutritional assessment, food profiles, histological analysis, comorbidities, and cardiovascular characteristics were determined. Cardiac oxidative stress was analyzed by malondialdehyde (MDA) and carbonylated proteins, and the cardiac protein expression levels of type 1 angiotensin receptor (AT-1), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2 (Nox2), superoxide dismutase (SOD 1 e 2), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT) were determined by western blot. RESULTS The HF group showed an increase in adiposity; however, it did not present adipocyte hypertrophy and comorbidities. Cardiac MDA and carbonylated protein levels were higher in the HF and HFS compared with the C group. The levels of oxidant and antioxidant proteins showed no difference between the groups. CONCLUSION HF and HFS dietary interventions promoted cardiac oxidative stress, in the presence and absence of obesity, respectively. However, this process was neither mediated by the pro-oxidants AT1 and Nox2, nor by the quantitative reduction of antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
Introduction: Obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are common risk factors for chronic
kidney disease (CKD). CKD arises due to many pathological insults, including
inflammation and oxidative stress, which affect renal function and destroy
nephrons. Rice bran (RB) is rich in vitamins and minerals, and contains
significant amount of antioxidants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
preventive effect of RB on renal disease risk factors. Methods: Male Wistar rats (±325 g) were divided into two experimental groups to
received a high sugar-fat diet (HSF, n = 8) or high sugar-fat diet with rice
bran (HSF + RB, n = 8) for 20 weeks. At the end, renal function, body
composition, metabolic parameters, renal inflammatory and oxidative stress
markers were analyzed. Results: RB prevented obesity [AI (HSF= 9.92 ± 1.19 vs HSF + RB= 6.62 ± 0.78)],
insulin resistance [HOMA (HSF= 83 ± 8 vs. HSF + RB= 42 ±
11)], dyslipidemia [TG (HSF= 167 ± 41 vs. HSF + RB=92 ±
40)], inflammation [TNF-α (HSF= 80 ± 12 vs. HSF + RB=57 ±
14), IL-6 (903 ± 274 vs. HSF + RB=535 ± 277)], oxidative

Abstract
The literature has reported a higher prevalence of negative clinical outcomes due to Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) in obese individuals. This can be explained by the cytokine storm, result from the cytokine production from both obesity and viral infection. Gamma-oryzanol (γOz) is a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, little is known about the γOz action as a possible agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that γOz attenuates the cytokine storm by stimulating PPAR-γ in the adipose tissue. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups and fed ad libitum for 30 weeks with control diet (C, n = 6), high sugar-fat diet (HSF, n = 6) or high sugar-fat diet + γOz (HSF + γOz, n = 6). HSF groups also received water + sucrose (25%). The γOz dose was 0.5% in the chow. Evaluation in animals included caloric intake, body weight, adiposity index, plasma triglycerides, and HOMA-IR. In adipose tissue was evaluated: PPAR-γ gene and protein expression, inflammatory and oxidative stress parameters, and histological analysis. RESULTS Adipose tissue dysfunction was observed in HSF group, which presented remarkable PPAR-γ underexpression and increased levels of cytokines, other inflammatory markers and oxidative stress. The γOz treatment prevented adipose tissue dysfunction and promoted PPAR-γ overexpression. CONCLUSION Natural compounds as γOz can be considered a coadjutant therapy to prevent the cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients with obesity conditions.
