Purpose: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has a prominent role in the pathogenesis of high-fat diet-induced non-alcohol related fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 6-G on the reduction of ER stress-induced NAFLD in metabolic syndrome (MetS) rats.
Methods: Twenty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-fat high-fructose (HFHF) diet for 16 weeks.
Objective: To examine the effects of 6-gingerol (6-G) in overcoming fatty pancreas disease of high-fat high-fructose (HFHF) diet-induced metabolic syndrome in rats.
Materials And Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups. The healthy-control group (normal diet, n = 5) received a standard diet.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) can lead to increase of insulin resistance (IR) and visceral adipose tissue production of adipocytokines. 6-gingerol is known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 6-gingerol on high-fat high-fructose (HFHF) diet-induced weight gain and IR in rats through modulation of adipocytokines.

With the increasing prevalence of MetS worldwide, understanding its pathogenesis and treatment modalities are essential. Animal models should allow an appropriate representation of the clinical manifestations of human conditions.
