This study sought to clarify the antiobesity effects of fish oil (FO) in terms of prevention and amelioration. An isocaloric diet composed of lard or FO was given to lean C57BL/6J mice for the study of prevention and high-fat diet-induced obese (DIO) mice for the study of amelioration for 4 weeks. Body weight gain and food efficiency were potently suppressed by FO in lean mice compared to lard diet-fed mice. Uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) expression in inguinal white adipose tissue (WAT) was also significantly induced by FO in lean mice. FO also suppressed body weight gain and food efficiency in DIO mice but did not reduce body weight. FO ameliorated liver steatosis in DIO mice by mildly inducing UCP-1 in inguinal WAT. FO suppressed obesity more potently in lean mice than in DIO mice but ameliorated steatosis in the DIO mice.

Objective: Cinnamic acid (CA) is a bioactive compound isolated from cinnamon. It has been demonstrated to ameliorate inflammation and metabolic diseases, which are associated with endothelial dysfunction. This study was aimed to study the potential protective effects of CA against diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction and its underlying mechanisms.

DIZE improved obesity and metabolic disturbances in DIO mice. An increase of sperm account and motility, along with improved morphology and increased male fertility was observed after DIZE treatment. Both serum and intratesticular testosterone levels showed an increase.

Given that GEP44 was found to reduce core temperature (surrogate measure of energy expenditure (EE)) in DIO mice, we hypothesized that GEP44 would reduce EE in male and female high fat diet (HFD)-fed rats. To test this, rats were maintained on a HFD for at least 4 months to elicit DIO prior to undergoing a sequential 2-day vehicle period, 2-day GEP44 (50 nmol/kg) period and a minimum 2-day washout period and detailed measures of energy homeostasis.

Objective: Obesity and overweight are associated with low-grade inflammation induced by adipose tissue expansion and perpetuated by altered intestinal homeostasis, including increased epithelial permeability. Intestinal epithelium functions are supported by intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) mitochondria function. However, diet-induced obesity (DIO) may impair mitochondrial activity of IEC and consequently, intestinal homeostasis.
