Background: The content of resveratrol is relatively high in Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc., and the resveratrol has the effect of blood vessel dilating, microcirculation improving, platelet aggregation inhibiting and anti-cancer. The objective of this paper was to study the effect of resveratrol on lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemia mice.

Materials And Methods: Through the establishment of an experimental mouse model of hyperlipidemia, the effect of resveratrol on change in total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) levels in mouse serum were determined.

Results: Resveratrol group can apparently reduce TC, TG, LDL-c and AI of hyperlipidemic mice in a dose effect manner.

Conclusion: We concluded that resveratrol can effectively reduce blood lipid levels of hyperlipidemic mice.

Hyperlipidemia is a major contributor to metabolic complications and tissue damage, leading to conditions such as liver steatosis, atherosclerosis, and obesity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of aqueous artichoke bract extract (AE) on lipid metabolism, liver antioxidative defense, and liver steatosis in mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet while elucidating the underlying mechanisms. An 8-week study used hyperlipidemic mice treated with AE at daily doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg bw, compared to fenofibrate.

Complex metabolic diseases due to overnutrition such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease are a major burden on the healthcare system worldwide. Current research primarily focuses on disease endpoints and trying to understand underlying mechanisms at relatively late stages of the diseases, when irreversible damage is already done. However, complex interactions between physiological systems during disease development create a problem regarding how to build cause-and-effect relationships.

Background: Atherosclerosis involves the buildup of macrophage-derived foam cells in the arterial intima. Facilitating the egress of these cells from plaques can significantly slow disease progression. The transmembrane receptor Unc5b, a vascular-specific axon guidance receptor, is upregulated in foam cells, and inhibits their migration from the plaques.

Excessive consumption of saturated fatty acids creates a debilitating cellular environment that hinders the normal function and survival of osteoblasts, contributing to bone metabolic disorders such as osteoporosis. The FDA-approved polypeptide PTH 1-34 is a well-established therapy for post-menopausal osteoporosis, yet its protective effects in a palmitic acid (PA)-rich hyperlipidemic environment are not well understood. This study investigates the impact of PTH 1-34 on PA-induced cellular responses in osteoblasts.

Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy significantly affects quality of life and has socio-economic and health implications. This study evaluates the effects of entacapone (ENT) on skeletal muscle atrophy linked with oxidative stress and proteolysis.

Methods: C2C12 cells were treated with dexamethasone (Dex) to simulate muscle atrophy.
