This study evaluated if miR-34a/SIRT1 signalling mediates the anti-hepatosteatotic effect of resveratrol (RSV) in high-fat-diet (HFD)-fed rats. Rats were divided into seven groups ( = 6/each) as control, control + miR-34a agomir negative control, HFD, HFD + miR-34a, HFD + RSV, HFD + RSV + Ex-527 (a SIRT1 inhibitor), and HFD + RSV + miR-34a agomir. After 8 weeks, RSV suppressed dyslipidemia, lowered fasting glucose and insulin levels, improved insulin sensitivity, and prevented hepatic lipid accumulation. These effects were associated with hepatic downregulation of SREBP1 and SREBP2, upregulation of PPARα, and acetylation of Nrf2 (activation) and NF-κβ p65 (inhibition). Also, RSV reduced the transcription of miR-34a and increased the nuclear localisation of SIRT1 in the livers, muscles, and adipose tissues of HFD-fed rats. All these effects were prevented by EX-527 and miR-34a agmir. In conclusion, RSV prevents HFD-induced insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis by suppressing miR-34a-induced activation of SIRT1.

Antithrombotic medications, including antiplatelet agents, are standard treatments for patients with hyperlipidemia who have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). The ongoing exploration of new antiplatelet agents with minimal bleeding effects is crucial, including the investigation of potential compounds derived from natural products. This study intended to evaluate the antiplatelet effects of a combined extract of sappan wood ( L.

The escalating incidence of obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance has become a significant global health concern. In this study, we have developed a self-nanoemulsifying delivery system (SNEDS) of formononetin-vitamin E conjugate (VESylated-FMN) for improving its oral bioavailability and improving insulin sensitivity and glycemic control. The developed SNEDS were characterized using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy.

A high-fat diet (HFD) is often associated with hepatic lipid metabolism disorders, leading to dysfunction in multiple body systems. Ginsenosides derived from Panax ginseng have been reported to possess potential effects in ameliorating lipid metabolism disorders; however, their underlying mechanisms remain insufficiently explored. This study aims to investigate the bioactivities of ginsenosides in combating lipid metabolism disorders and obesity, with a focus on their mechanisms involving the cholesterol metabolism signaling pathway and gut microbiota.

Background: Non-invasive methods to diagnose non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an inflammatory subtype of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), are currently unavailable.
Aim: To develop an integrin αvβ3-targeted molecular imaging modality to differentiate NASH.
Methods: Integrin αvβ3 expression was assessed in Human LO2 hepatocytes Scultured with palmitic and oleic acids (FFA).

Scope: Grifola frondosa polysaccharide (GFP) has a positive effect in regulating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the understanding of its regulatory mechanism is still limited. Accumulating evidence suggests that hepatic inflammation is crucial in the onset and progression of insulin resistance (IR) and T2DM. However, the question of whether GFP can modulate T2DM via regulating hepatic inflammation and the underlying mechanism has not yet been reported.
