In this study, C57BL/6J mice with high-fat diet- (HFD-) induced hyperlipidemia were treated with total var. polysaccharides (TLSP: 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg body weight), simvastatin (3 mg/kg body weight), or saline for 8 weeks, respectively. The results showed that TLSP had strong lipid-lowering and hepatoprotective effects on C57BL/6J mice with HFD-induced hyperlipidemia. TLSP administration significantly reduced serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and downregulated the expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in the adipose and liver tissues of the mice. TLSP exerted hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective effects by activating lipid/bile acid metabolism via the FXH-SHP/CYP7A1 and SEBP-1c/FAC/ACC signaling pathways. Thus, TLPS is a promising natural polymer with hepatoprotective and hypolipidemic properties.
在本研究中,将高脂饮食(HFD)诱导的高脂血症C57BL/6J小鼠分别用总变种多糖(TLSP:200、400和800毫克/千克体重)、辛伐他汀(3毫克/千克体重)或生理盐水处理8周。结果表明,TLSP对HFD诱导的高脂血症C57BL/6J小鼠具有强大的降脂和保肝作用。给予TLSP可显著降低小鼠血清总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)水平,并下调小鼠脂肪和肝脏组织中过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPAR)和脂肪酸合酶(FAS)的表达。TLSP通过FXH-SHP/CYP7A1和SEBP-1c/FAC/ACC信号通路激活脂质/胆汁酸代谢,发挥降脂和保肝作用。因此,TLPS是一种具有保肝和降脂特性的有前途的天然聚合物。
