Objectives: This study was to explore the potential effects and mechanism of naringenin against vascular senescence in atherosclerosis focusing on the SIRT1-mediated signalling pathway.
Methods: Aged apoE-/- mice were administrated with naringenin continuously for three months. Lipid parameters in serum and pathological changes and associated protein expression in aorta were examined.
The compound, 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glucoside (TSG), a primary bioactive polyphenolic component of exerts numerous pharmacological activities. However, its protective effect against non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), in the context of metabolic syndrome, remains poorly understood. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of TSG treatment on middle-aged (12-mo-old) male LDLr mice, which were fed a high fat diet for 12 weeks to induce metabolic syndrome and NASH.
