Project description:Rats fed a 20%-maple syrup diet (maple syrup group) for 11 days showed significantly lower values of the hepatic function markers than those fed a 20%-sugar mix syrup diet (control) likewise. One reasons was suggested by DNA microarray analysis which revealed that the expression of genes for enzymes of ammonia production were down-regulated in the liver of maple syrup group.

Project description:Adult female Wistar rats (about 220g) obtained from a breeding colony were mated and fed either a protein sufficient (PS) or protein restricted (PR) diet (n = 6 per dietary group) during F0 pregnancy which provided an increase in energy of approximately 25% compared to the diet fed to the breeding colony (2018S). During lactation dams were fed AIN93G and litters were standardisied to 8 offspring within 24 hours of birth with a bias towards females. Offpsring were weaned onto AIN93M at postnatal day 28 and F1 and F2 females were mated on postnatal day 70 (n = 6 per F0 dietary group). F1 and F2 dams were fed the PS diet during pregnancy and AIN93G during lactation. Offspring were weaned onto AIN93M. On postnatal day 70 unmated female offspring were fasted for 12 hours then sacrificed for hepatic transcritpome analysis by microarray. Expression of 1,684 genes differed by at least 2 fold between adult female F1 offspring of F0 dams from both dietary groups. 1680 genes were altered in F2 offspring and 2,065 genes altered in F3 offspring. Expression of 113 genes was altered in all three generations. Of these, 47% showed directionally opposite differences between generations. Gene ontology analysis revealed clear differences in the pathways altered in each generation. F1 and F2 offspring of F0 dams fed a PR diet showed impaired fasting glucose homeostasis. Hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) expression was elevated in F1 and F2 offspring from F0 PR dams, but decreased in F3, compared to PS offspring

Project description:Iron is an essential nutritional element; its deficiency in the body causes nutritional problems and a decrease in iron storage that can lead to anemia. The liver not only stores iron but is an important metabolic target as well. Dietary iron deficiency is associated with changes in the metabolism of nutrients such as lipids. However, to the best of our knowledge, a global analysis detailing the consequences of iron deficiency in the body has not yet been reported. We performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis using DNA microarray technology to reveal the effects of iron deficiency on hepatic gene expression. Four-week-old rats were fed an iron-deficient diet or a control diet for 16 days. On day 17, the rats were sacrificed under anesthesia, and their livers were dissected for DNA microarray analysis. We identified 600 up-regulated and 500 down-regulated probe sets to characterize the iron-deficient diet group. The up-regulated probe sets contained genes for enzymes that are involved in cholesterol, amino acid, and glucose metabolisms, as well as in apoptosis. The down-regulated probe sets included genes for enzymes associated with lipid metabolism. Additionally, the 16-day iron-deficient diet induced anemia. Our gene expression analysis revealed that, as a result, cholesterol biosynthesis, gluconeogenesis, and apoptosis due to endoplasmic reticulum stress were accelerated, while fatty acid biosynthesis was suppressed by dietary iron deficiency. Our analysis also showed that cholesterol metabolism, including bile acid biosynthesis, was accelerated in the initial stages of cholesterol accumulation. Experiment Overall Design: Male 3-week-old Sprague Dawley rats were purchased from Charles River Japan (Kanagawa, Japan) and housed in a room conditioned at 24 ± 1°C and 40 ± 5% humidity with a 12-h light-dark cycle (lights on at 08:00). The rats were given a control diet and water for 24 h ad libitum. Diets for rats were obtained from Research Diets, Inc. (New Brunswick, NJ, USA). The composition of the control diet was based on the AIN93G diet , except that cellulose was replaced by Avicel, since cellulose is an ingredient of variable iron content. The iron-deficient diet was prepared by removal of iron (ferric citrate) from the control diet. At day 8, rats were divided into two groups comprising animals of similar body weights. One group (n = 6) was fed the control diet and the other group (n = 7) was fed the iron-deficient diet (iron-deficient diet group). After iron-deficient diet feeding was started, blood hemoglobin levels were measured every two days. Blood samples for hemoglobin measurements were collected from the tail vein, and hemoglobin levels were measured by using the Wako Hemoglobin B test (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan). On day 12 of the iron-deficient diet treatment, diets were removed at 17:00, and feeding was conducted between 09:00 and 17:00 for another 4 days. This protocol was intended to synchronize the ratsâ feeding behavior. On day 17 of the iron-deficient diet treatment, rats were fed for 1.5 h prior to sacrifice under anesthesia. Livers were then excised and subsequently immersed in RNAlater (Applied Biosystems Japan, Tokyo, Japan). Blood hemoglobin level of rats fed an iron-deficient diet decreased significantly over the course of the feeding. On day 17, the hemoglobin level in the iron-deficient diet group was 42% of that of the control diet group (P < 0.01).

Project description:Phloridzin is a dihydrochalcone typically contained in apples. A diet containing 0.5 % phloridzin significantly improves hyperglycemia but not hypoinsulinemia and tissue lipid peroxidation in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice after 14 days. The phloridzin diet has no effect on the alteration of hepatic gene expression in STZ-induced diabetic mice. A quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed a reversal of the STZ induction of the sodium/glucose cotransporter gene Sglt1 and the drug-metabolizing enzyme genes Cyp2b10 and Ephx1 in the small intestine of mice fed a 0.5% phloridzin diet. These mice also showed a reversal of the STZ-mediated renal induction of the glucose-regulated facilitated glucose transporter gene Glut2. Dietary phloridzin improved the abnormal elevations in blood glucose level and the overexpression of Sglt1, Cyp2b10 and Ephx1 in the small intestine of STZ-induced diabetic mice. Six-week-old male mice were divided into 4 groups of 6 mice each, housed in groups of 3 per cage. After 1 week mice were intraperitoneally injected with STZ. Mice (n=6) in the untreated control group did not receive any treatment. After 1 week, 18 mice showing non-fasting blood glucose levels of 330-590 mg/dL were divided into 3 groups: one group was fed with AIN93G only (control group), the others with an AIN93G diet containing 0.1% or 0.5% phloridzin (Funakoshi, Tokyo, Japan) for 2 weeks.

Project description:We showed that diets containing 0.1% or 0.5% quercetin lowered the STZ-induced increase in blood glucose levels and improved plasma insulin levels. A cluster analysis of the hepatic gene expressions showed that 0.5% quercetin diet suppressed STZ-induced alteration of gene expression. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that the quercetin diets had their greatest suppressive effect on the STZ-induced elevation of expression of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAF1/Cip1) (Cdkn1a). In this experiment, we determined the effect of quercetin on healthy control BALB/c mice that were fed the AIN93G diet containing 0, 0.1, 0.5 or 1% quercetin for 2 weeks. GSEA and one-way ANOVA did not detect any significant changes in hepatic gene expression in normal mice as a result of a quercetin diet. Using a linear modeling approach and the empirical Bayes statistics, we found that Ubc were significantly reduced by both the 0.5% and 1% quercetin. Six-week-old male mice were divided into 4 groups of 6 mice each, housed in groups of 3 per cage, and fed a standard purified AIN-93G diet containing 0% (Control), 0.1% (0.1), 0.5% (0.5), or 1% quercertin (1.0) for 2 weeks.

Project description:Quercetin is a food component that may ameliorate the diabetic symptoms. We examined hepatic gene expression of BALB/c mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes to elucidate the mechanism of the protective effect of dietary quercetin on diabetes-associated liver injury. We fed STZ-induced diabetic mice with diets containing 0.1% or 0.5% quercetin for 2 weeks and compared the patterns of hepatic gene expression in these groups of mice using a DNA microarray. Diets containing 0.1% or 0.5% quercetin lowered the STZ-induced increase in blood glucose levels and improved plasma insulin levels. A cluster analysis of the hepatic gene expressions showed that 0.5% quercetin diet suppressed STZ-induced alteration of gene expression. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that the quercetin diets had their greatest suppressive effect on the STZ-induced elevation of expression of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAF1/Cip1) (Cdkn1a). Six-week-old male mice were divided into 4 groups of 6 mice each, housed in groups of 3 per cage. After 1 week mice were intraperitoneally injected with STZ. Mice (n=6) in the untreated control group did not receive any treatment. After 1 week, 18 mice showing non-fasting blood glucose levels of 230-400 mg/dL were divided into 3 groups: one group was fed with AIN93G only (control group), the others with an AIN93G diet containing 0.1% or 0.5% quercetin (Funakoshi, Tokyo, Japan) for 2 weeks.

Project description:To determine the effect of consumption of a quercetin-rich diet on obesity and dysregulated hepatic gene expression, C56BL/6J mice were fed for 20 weeks on control or a Western diet high in fat, cholesterol and sucrose, both with or without 0.05% quercetin. Chronic dietary intake of quercetin reduced body weight gain and visceral and liver fat accumulation, and improved hyperglyceamia, hyperinsulinaemia, dyslipidaemia in mice fed a Western-style diet. Feeding a Western-style diet altered expression of genes related to inflammatory responses, lipid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation in C57BL/6J mice after 20 weeks. The results from exhaustive gene expression analysis showed that quercetin minimally influenced hepatic gene expression in mice fed the Western diet. The gene screening results (GSEA) were consistent with the notion that it did improve mitochondrial function to some extent. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis indicated that quercetin did influence important regulators of fat accumulation and metabolic disorders. Our results suggest that quercetin reduces fat accumulation presumably through decreasing oxidative stress and increasing PPARα expression, and the following improvement of gene expression related to steatosis in the liver. C56BL/6J mice were fed for 20 weeks on AIN93G (con) or a Western diet high in fat, cholesterol and sucrose, both with or without 0.05% quercetin for 20 weeks.
