The efficacy of Cuban sugarcane-extracted policosanol (Raydel), a purified blend of eight long-chain aliphatic alcohols, was compared to copycat sugarcane-extract powder (SCEP) to assess their effects on dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and vital organs of zebrafish under the influence of a high-cholesterol diet (HCD). Zebrafish were fed with HCD (final 4%, /) or HCD infused with policosanol (PCO, final 1%, /) or SCEP (final 1%, /). Post 14-week consumption, blood and organs were harvested and processed for various biochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations, and fluorescent staining. Following 14-week consumption, the PCO-supplemented group exhibited higher zebrafish survival probability than the SCEP-supplemented group. Both PCO and SCEP substantially impacted the HCD-disrupted plasma lipid profile; however, PCO supplementation exhibited a significantly better effect than SCEP. Similarly, PCO supplementation significantly improved the blood glucose level, hepatic function biomarkers, and oxidative-antioxidant balance disturbed by HCD. PCO supplementation displayed a substantial inhibitory effect against HCD-induced fatty liver changes, nephromegaly, and cellular senescence. Likewise, PCO effectively protected the brain against HCD-induced apoptosis and accumulation of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE); in contrast, SCEP supplementation showed almost no effect in reducing such adverse changes. The comparative findings between PCO and SCEP highlight the protective effects of PCO against HCD-induced oxidative stress and dyslipidemia via the enhancement of antioxidant markers, leading to protection of the liver, kidney, and brain, while SCEP failed to achieve similar outcomes.
将古巴甘蔗提取的 policosanol(Raydel,一种由八种长链脂肪醇组成的纯化混合物)与仿冒甘蔗提取物粉末(SCEP)进行功效比较,以评估它们在高胆固醇饮食(HCD)影响下对斑马鱼血脂异常、氧化应激和重要器官的作用。给斑马鱼喂食 HCD(最终含量 4%,/)或添加了 policosanol 的 HCD(PCO,最终含量 1%,/)或 SCEP(最终含量 1%,/)。在食用 14 周后,采集血液和器官并进行各种生化、组织学和免疫组织化学(IHC)检查以及荧光染色。食用 14 周后,补充 PCO 的组斑马鱼存活概率高于补充 SCEP 的组。PCO 和 SCEP 都对 HCD 扰乱的血浆脂质谱有显著影响;然而,补充 PCO 的效果明显优于 SCEP。同样,补充 PCO 显著改善了受 HCD 干扰的血糖水平、肝功能生物标志物以及氧化 - 抗氧化平衡。补充 PCO 对 HCD 诱导的脂肪肝变化、肾肿大和细胞衰老显示出显著的抑制作用。同样,PCO 有效保护大脑免受 HCD 诱导的细胞凋亡和 4 - 羟基壬烯醛(4 - HNE)积累的影响;相比之下,补充 SCEP 在减少此类不良变化方面几乎没有效果。PCO 和 SCEP 的比较结果突出了 PCO 通过增强抗氧化标志物对 HCD 诱导的氧化应激和血脂异常的保护作用,从而保护肝脏、肾脏和大脑,而 SCEP 未能取得类似结果。
