In this study, we elucidated the inhibitory effect of fucoidan from marine brown algae on the lipid accumulation in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and its mechanism. The treatment of fucoidan in a dose-dependent manner was examined on lipid inhibition in 3T3-L1 cells by using Oil Red O staining. Fucoidan showed high lipid inhibition activity at 200 μg/mL concentration (P < 0.001). Lipolytic activity in adipocytes is highly dependent on hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), which is one of the most important targets of lipolytic regulation. Here, we examined the biological response of fucoidan on the protein level of lipolysis pathway. The expressed protein levels of total hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) and its activated form, phosphorylated-HSL were significantly increased at concentration of 200 μg/mL fucoidan. Furthermore, insulin-induced 2-deoxy-D-[³H] glucose uptake was decreased up to 51% in fucoidan-treated cells as compared to control. Since increase of HSL and p-HSL expression and decrease of glucose uptake into adipocytes are known to lead to stimulation of lipolysis, our results suggest that fucoidan reduces lipid accumulation by stimulating lipolysis. Therefore, these results suggest that fucoidan can be useful for the prevention or treatment of obesity due to its stimulatory lipolysis.

Fucoidan from Marine Brown Algae Inhibits Lipid Accumulation.

Obesity has recently risen and become a serious health concern in Korea according to the westernized diet and altered lifestyle. Hence, there is a growing interest in the supplementation of phytochemicals to find a safe and effective functional ingredient to treat obesity. Spergularia marina Griseb (SM) has traditionally been used as a natural herb against chronic diseases in Korea. In this study, we investigated the antiobesity effects of SM in vitro and in vivo. SM ethanol extract (SME) inhibited proliferation and differentiation in murine adipocytes and primary porcine pre-adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. In the in vivo study, supplementation of SM powder (SMP) remarkably attenuated fat accumulation in HFD-induced obese rats. In addition, SMP supplementation improved lipid profiles in the serum and tissues of high-fat induced obese rats. Collectively, these data indicated that SME exhibited antiobesity effects by modulating adipogenesis and lipolysis. Furthermore, SMP could be developed as an obesity-induced metabolic syndrome treatment.

Antiobesity Effects of Extract from Spergularia marina Griseb in Adipocytes and High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Rats.

This study aimed to examine the mechanisms underlying the effects of Garcinia cambogia extract on the adipogenic dif-ferentiation of 3T3-L1 cells and long-chain saturated fatty acid-induced lipotoxicity of HepG2 cells. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes,mouse embryonic fibroblast-adipose like cell line, were treated with MDI solution (0.5 mM IBMX, 1 µM dexamethasone,10 µg/mL insulin) to generate a cellular model of adipocyte differentiation. Using this cellular model, the anti-obesity effectof Garcinia cambogia extract was evaluated. MDI-induced lipid accumulation and expression of adipogenesis-related geneswere detected by Oil red O staining, Nile Red staining, and Western blot analysis. Effects Garcinia cambogia extract onpalmitate-induced lipotoxicity was also analyzed by MTT assay, LDH release, and DAPI staining in HepG2 cells. Garciniacambogia extract significantly suppressed the adipogenic differentiation of preadipocytes and intracellular lipid accumula-tion in the differentiating adipocytes. Garcinia cambogia extract also markedly inhibited the expression of peroxisome pro-liferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPARγ2), CCAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα), and adipocyte protein aP2 (aP2). Inaddition, Garcinia cambogia extract significantly attenuated palmitate-induced lipotoxicity in HepG2 cells. Palmitate-induced cellular damage and reactive aldehydes were also significantly reduced in the presence of Garcinia cambogiaextract. These findings suggest that the Garcinia cambogia extract inhibits the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 pread-ipocytes, probably by regulating the expression of multiple genes associated with adipogenesis such as PPARγ2, C/EBPα,aP2, and thereby modulating fatty acid-induced lipotoxicity to reduce cellular injury in hepatocytes.Key words: anti-adipogenesis, Garcinia cambogia, gene expression, lipotoxicity

In this study, the effects of sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrical) seed oil and yukdomok (Chionanthus retusa L.) seed oil intake on lipid levels of blood and organs in mice were compared with those of commercially available vegetable oils. In this study, the group treated with sponge gourd seed oil showed the highest final weight, kidney weight, and content of intra-abdominal fat. The group treated with sponge gourd seed oil showed the highest total cholesterol level of 171.75±27.15 mg/dL in the blood, whereas the group treated with yukdomok seed oil showed the highest triacylglycerol level of 234.00±50.52 mg/dL. Further, the group treated with sponge gourd seed oil showed a significantly higher HDL-cholesterol level of 142.75±16.32 mg/dL compared to the other groups (p<0.05). These results suggest that oils extracted from sponge gourd and yukdomok seeds have health-related effects.

The inhibitory effects of adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes with water and ethanol extracts of Curdrania tricuspidata leaves were investigated. The lipid accumulation of ethanol extract from Curdrania tricuspidata leaves at a concentration of 5 mg/mL was reduced by 50% compared with control cells, whereas water extracts reduced by 86%. The survival rate of cell viability test showed 80% in the growth of cells at concentrations of 0.5-5 mg/mL. The contents of DNJ(1-deoxynojirimycin) and rutin were higher in leaves than those of stem. Moreover, DNJ contents were detected in large amounts in ethanol extract () compared with water extract (). On the contrary, the rutin contents was detected in large amounts in water extracts compared with ethanol extract. These results indicate that Curdrania tricuspidata leaves extract is potential sources of natural antiobesity agent.

Inhibition of Adipogenesis in 3T3-Ll Adipocytes with Water and Ethanol Extracts of Cudrania tricuspidata Leaves

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether water extracts of Sparassis crispa (SC) have anti-obesity effects. Treatment of mature adipocytes with SC caused a decrease in lipid accumulation (assessed by Oil Red O staining) and an increase in glycerol release. Mice were induced to obesity by a high fat diet (45% fat in total kcal) and experimental groups were treated with two different dosages of SC extracts, a low SC (LSC, 100 mg/kg/day) or high SC (HSC, 300 mg/kg/day). SC extracts were administered by gavages for 10 weeks in the experimental groups, while the control group was fed with distilled water. The body weight gain of mice fed SC was significantly reduced (11.88% lower in LSC, 14.54% lower in HSC) compared to the control group. Additionally, there were significantly reduced serum levels of triglycerides (13.57% lower in LSC, 19.46% lower in HSC), total cholesterol (32.22% lower in LSC, 24.67% lower in HSC) and glucose (28.85% lower in LSC, 25.82% lower in HSC) in mice fed SC compared to the control group. Hepatic triglycerides in mice fed SC were lower (9.68% lower in LSC, 14.24% lower in HSC) than the control group and total cholesterol levels were also lower in mice fed SC (38.72% lower in LSC, 35.20% in HSC). These results demonstrate that the water extract of SC may enhance lipolysis and up-regulate the expression of lipolytic enzymes in vitro and reduce body weight in vivo. These significant effects were found for both low and high doses of SC treatment, and suggest SC can be used as potential therapeutic substances for the prevention and treatment of obesity.
