Grape seed extracts-mediated lipid mobility in C. elegans
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) reduce triglycerides in the nematode C. elegans. Lipase was strongly inhibited in vitro accompanied by the reduction of total triglyceride storage capacity in vivo; Lipophilic staining was also attenuated in wild type worms and high-fat mutants exposed to OPCs. Apart from biochemical analyses, lipid metabolism was also genetically regulated, emphasizing the necessity to study underlying regulation mechanisms in intact animals. To gain a deeper insight into the potential gene targets of purified oligomeric proanthocyanidin trimer gallate (pOPC7), a binary microarray assay was carried out with wild type N2 populations continuously exposed to a bacterial diet with or without pOPC7.
