Supplementation of the Flavonoid Myricitrin Attenuates the Adverse Metabolic Effects of Long-Term Consumption of a High-Fat Diet in Mice.
The flavonoid myricitrin exhibits various pharmacological and physiological effects. However, studies on the effects of myricitrin on obesity are limited. We hypothesized that dietary myricitrin would attenuate the adiposity and metabolic dysfunction that occur in obesity. To test this hypothesis, mice were randomly fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or HFD supplemented with myricitrin for 16 weeks. Myricitrin significantly reduced white adipose tissue (WAT) mass, adipocyte size, and plasma leptin levels, and also attenuated dyslipidemia. These changes appeared to result from increased energy expenditure and activation of the carnitine acyltransferase (CPT) and Topics: Adipose Tissue, White; Adiposity; Animals; Diet, High-Fat; Dietary Supplements; Dyslipidemias; Fatty Liver; Flavonoids; Inflammation; Insulin Resistance; Leptin; Liver; Male; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Obesity | 2019 |
