A Meal High in Saturated Fat Evokes Postprandial Dyslipemia,Hyperinsulinemia, and Altered Lipoprotein Expression in Obese Children With and Without Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Background: Hyperinsulinemia and altered lipid and lipoprotein metabolism induced by fast‐food diets may contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We hypothesized that a high saturated fat (SFA) meal would evoke prolonged postprandial lipemia and hyperinsulinemia, increased inflammation, and altered lipoprotein expression in obese children with NAFLD when compared with healthy children. Methods: We prospectively studied 31 children (NAFLD, 13.1 ± 2.6 years, n = 11; age‐matched obese, 14.3 ± 1.7 years, n = 9; lean, 13.6 ± 2.6 years, n = 11) following consumption of a high SFA (18.8%) meal. Prior to and at 1, 3, and 6 hours after meal consumption, blood was collected for analysis of alanine aminotransferase (ALT); aspartate aminotransferase (AST); γ‐glutamyltransferase; leptin; C‐reactive protein; (fasting) insulin; glucose; triglycerides (TGs); total, high‐density lipoprotein, and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; adiponectin; nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs); inflammatory markers (TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐10); apolipoproteins‐B48, B100, and CIII; and fatty acid (FA) composition of TG fractions. Results: Children with NAFLD had significantly higher fasting levels of ALT (87 ± 54 U/L), AST (52 ± 33.5 U/L), and apolipoprotein‐CIII (20.6 ± 11.3 mg/dL) with postprandial hyperinsulinemia (iAUC insulin: 225 ± 207 [NAFLD] vs 113 ± 73 [obese] vs 47 ± 19.9 [lean] mU/L‐h; P < .001); suppression of NEFA (iAUC‐NEFA: 1.7 ± 0.9 [NAFLD] vs 0.6 ± 0.3 [obese] vs 1 ± 0.7 [lean] mEq/L‐h); and prolonged elevations in apolipoprotein‐B48 3–6 hours after meal consumption when compared with obese and lean controls (P < .05). Conclusion: A meal high in saturated fat evokes postprandial dyslipemia, hyperinsulinemia, and altered lipoprotein expression in obese children with and without NAFLD.

目的探讨血清铁蛋白（sF）水平在成人非酒精性脂肪性肝病（NAFLD）患者中的临床意义。方法对入选的158例健康体检人群,进行血清铁蛋白、总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、高密度脂蛋白（HDL—C）、低密度脂蛋白（LDL—C）、空腹血糖（FBG）、血尿酸（UA）、谷草转氨酶（AST）及谷丙转氨酶（ALT）等各指标检测及肝脏超声检查,根据肝脏超声结果分为NAFLD组（68例）及正常对照组（90例）,比较两组间血清铁蛋白水平及血脂、血糖、尿酸、转氨酶等生化指标情况。结果NAFLD组中血清铁蛋白水平及甘油三酯、尿酸、转氨酶明显高于对照组,而高密度脂蛋白明显低于对照组（p〈0．01）;进一步相关性分析显示．血清铁蛋白与谷草转氨酶及谷丙转氨酶显著相关（r=0．260、0．299,P〈0．01）。结论血清铁蛋白水平的升高可能提示NAFLD患者肝损的一个有效指标,并在NAFLD的进展过程中可能起一定的作用。     

Anti-Obesity Effects of a Prunus persica and Nelumbo nucifera Mixture in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

Prunus persica and Nelumbo nucifera are major crops cultivated worldwide. In East Asia, both P. persica flowers and N. nucifera leaves are traditionally used for therapeutic purposes and consumed as teas for weight loss. Herein, we investigated the anti-obesity effects of an herbal extract mixture of P. persica and N. nucifera (HT077) and the underlying mechanism using a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity model. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a normal diet, HFD, HFD containing 0.02% orlistat (positive control), or HFD containing 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4% HT077 for 12 weeks. HT077 significantly reduced final body weights, weight gain, abdominal fat weights, liver weights, and hepatic levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol. HT077 also lowered glucose, cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and leptin levels and increased AST/ALT and adiponectin/leptin ratios and adiponectin levels. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that HT077 decreased the expression of lipogenic genes and increased the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes in adipose tissue. Our results indicate that HT077 exerts anti-obesity effects and prevents the development of obesity-related metabolic disorders. These beneficial effects might be partially attributed to ameliorating adipokine imbalances and regulating lipid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation in adipose tissue.

Resveratrol supplementation improves inflammatory biomarkers in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in the world. Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant capacity that shows beneficial effects on down-regulation of inflammatory mediators and metabolic disorders. We hypothesized that supplementation with resveratrol can further improve the efficacy of lifestyle modifications in the management of NAFLD. In this randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial, 50 NAFLD patients were supplemented with either a 500-mg resveratrol capsule or a placebo capsule for 12 weeks. Both groups were advised to follow an energy-balanced diet and received physical activity recommendations. Serum liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, dietary intake, anthropometric measurements, and physical activity were assessed at both baseline and the end of the study. In both groups, anthropometric measurements (weight, body mass index, waist circumference), liver enzymes, and steatosis grade improved (P < 005). Resveratrol supplementation was associated with a significant reduction in liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase, inflammatory cytokines, nuclear factor κB activity, serum cytokeratin-18, and hepatic steatosis grade, as compared with placebo supplementation (P < .05). For the treatment of NAFLD, our results showed that 12 weeks of supplementation of 500 mg resveratrol, along with lifestyle modification, is superior to lifestyle modification alone. This is at least partially due to the attenuation of inflammatory markers and hepatocellular apoptosis. More studies are needed to confirm and increase the clinical application of the present results.     

Effect of vitamin E supplementation on aminotransferase levels in patients with NAFLD,NASH, and CHC: Results from a meta-analysis

ObjectiveThe antioxidant vitamin E has been extensively employed to treat chronic liver diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of vitamin E supplementation in lowering alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and chronic hepatitis C (CHC).MethodsWe searched all publications in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases up to June 2013. In total, eight articles met the eligibility criteria, among which, two studies about NAFLD, four studies about NASH, and three studies about CHC, were identified and included in the meta-analysis.ResultsAccording to standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval, 12.19 (−4.08 to 28.46) for ALT and 6.84 (−3.18 to 16.86) for AST in patients with NAFLD, 4.54 (1.62–7.46) for ALT and 3.55 (1.39–5.71) for AST in patients with NASH, and 0.61 (0.20–1.02) for ALT and 0.68 (0.07–1.29) for AST in patients with CHC, vitamin E supplementation could optimize ALT and AST levels in patients with NASH and CHC, although it was not statistically significantly associated with reduced ALT and AST levels in patients with NAFLD.ConclusionTo summarize, the evidence currently available supported the theory that vitamin E supplementation can optimize aminotransferase levels for patients with NAFLD, NASH, and CHC, and more well-designed, large-scale clinical trials are encouraged to examine the therapeutic effect of vitamin E for these disorders.     

Predictors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in obese children

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate predictors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese children. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: Two hundred and sixty-eight obese children not consuming alcohol and without hepatitis B or C were consecutively studied at an auxology clinic. MEASUREMENTS: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT), cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, glucose, glucose during oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), insulin, insulin during OGTT, insulin resistance as estimated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured. Fatty liver was diagnosed by ultrasonography using standard criteria. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of NAFLD. All predictors except gender and pubertal status were modeled as continuous variables. RESULTS: NAFLD was detected in 44% of obese children. At univariable analysis, male gender, Z-score of body mass index (BMI) (Z-BMI), ALT, AST, GGT, triglycerides, uric acid, glucose, glucose during OGTT, insulin, insulin during OGTT, HOMA, CRP and systolic blood pressure were predictors of NAFLD, whereas HDL-cholesterol and late-pubertal status were predictors of the normal liver. At multivariable analysis, however, only Z-BMI, ALT, uric acid, glucose during OGTT and insulin during OGTT were independent predictors of NAFLD. CONCLUSION: Z-BMI, ALT, uric acid, glucose during OGTT and insulin during OGTT are independent predictors of NAFLD in Italian obese children, with most of the prediction explained by ALT and Z-BMI.     

Dietary sea cucumber cerebroside alleviates orotic acid-induced excess hepatic adipopexis in rats

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent chronic liver disease in industrialized countries. The present study was undertaken to explore the preventive effect of dietary sea cucumber cerebroside (SCC) extracted from Acaudina molpadioides in fatty liver rats. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups including normal control group, NAFLD model group, and two SCC-treated groups with SCC at 0.006% and 0.03% respectively. The fatty liver model was established by administration of 1% orotic acid (OA) to the rats. After 10d, serum and hepatic lipid levels were detected. And the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities were also determined. Besides, to gain the potential mechanism, the changes of key enzymes and gene expressions related to the hepatic lipid metabolism were measured. RESULTS: Dietary SCC at the level of 0.006% and 0.03% ameliorated the hepatic lipid accumulation in fatty liver rats. SCC administration elevated the serum triglyceride (TG) level and the ALT, AST activities in OA-fed rats. The activities of hepatic lipogenic enzymes including fatty acid synthase (FAS), malic enzyme (ME) and glucose-6-phosphatedehydrogenase (G6PDH) were inhibited by SCC treatment. And the gene expressions of FAS, ME, G6PDH and sterol-regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1c) were also reduced in rats fed SCC. However, dietary SCC didn't affect the activity and mRNA expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) in liver. Besides, suppression of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity was observed in SCC-feeding rats. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that dietary SCC could attenuate hepatic steatosis due to its inhibition of hepatic lipogenic gene expression and enzyme activity and the enhancement of TG secretion from liver.     

NAFLD患者肝功能与血脂的相关性研究

目的:探讨非酒精性脂肪肝性肝病(NAFLD)患者肝功能与血脂间的关系。方法:选取某医院健康体检人群中NAFLD患者116例,对照组94例,测量身高、体重,计算体质指数;检查血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、γ-谷氨酸转移酶(GGT)、总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C),并进行对比分析。结果:NAFLD组ALT、AST、GGT及TG均高于对照组,而HDL-C则低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01,P<0.05),Pearson相关分析结果显示:ALT、AST分别与TG呈正相关,与HDL-C呈负相关(相关系数r依次为0.423、0.324、-0.328、-0.282,P<0.01)。结论:NAFLD患者肝功能损害与脂代谢紊乱尤其是高TG血症及低HDL-C血症存在一定的相关性。     

非酒精性脂肪肝相关危险因素分析

Dietary conjugated linoleic acid alleviates nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in Zucker (fa/fa) rats

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the preferred term to describe the spectrum of liver damage ranging from hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis, and it is emerging as the most common liver disease in industrialized countries. Thus, the discovery of food components that would ameliorate NAFLD is of interest. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a mixture of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid, has attracted considerable attention because of its potentially beneficial biological effects both in vitro and in vivo. We tested whether dietary CLA protects Zucker (fa/fa) rats from hepatic injury. After 8 wk of feeding, hepatomegaly, hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation, and elevated hepatic injury markers in plasma were markedly alleviated in CLA-fed Zucker rats compared with linoleic acid-fed (control) rats. These effects were attributed in part to the enhanced hepatic activities of carnitine palmitoyltransferase, a key enzyme of fatty acid beta-oxidation, and microsomal TG transfer protein, an important factor for lipoprotein secretion due to the CLA diet. We previously reported that the severe hyperinsulinemia in control Zucker rats was attenuated in CLA-fed rats due to an enhanced level of plasma adiponectin, which improves insulin sensitivity. In the present study, the adiponectin concentration was increased and the mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, an inflammatory cytokine, was markedly suppressed in the liver of CLA-fed Zucker rats. We speculate that the enhanced level of liver adiponectin may prevent the development and progression of NAFLD in CLA-fed Zucker rats.     

Examining the Relationship Between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and the Metabolic Syndrome in Nondiabetic Subjects

Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered by some to be the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome (MS). However, others believe NAFLD is a distinct entity that actually initiates MS. Whichever is true, a definite linkage exists between both is generally accepted based upon the frequency of common occurrence and realization that insulin resistance (IR) is and realization that. The objective is to better understand the relationship between NAFLD and MS. Specifically, is there any concrete evidence that development of NAFLD precedes MS or vice versa? Another goal was to better comprehend capabilities of circulating aminotransferases (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) and their ratio used commonly for diagnosis of NAFLD.

Methods: Data from 288 participants with fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels below the diabetic level (<125 mg/dL) and AST and ALT values in the normal range (<40 U/L) were examined. Correlations between ALT and AST and their ratio as independent variables with a variety of metabolic parameter were evaluated and compared.

Results: Like FBG, many significant positive correlations among glucose–insulin indices, body composition, blood pressure, dyslipidemias, and inflammation were discovered using ALT, and less so with AST, as the independent variable. In some cases, even stronger correlations in a negative direction with IR and MS were found with the ratio AST/ALT. Corroboration occurred when values in the lowest and highest quartiles of ALT and AST/ALT readings showed appropriate statistically significant differences. Conclusions: The findings here suggest that both NAFLD and the MS very early in development have a common inciting mechanism(s)—most likely IR. Accordingly, the early concurrent temporal results are consistent with the concept that NAFLD is a hepatic manifestation of the IR associated with the MS. They do not exclude the possibility that once some liver functional adjustments take place, several aspects of the MS are bolstered further, perhaps via intensified heightening of IR.

Comparison of Calorie-Restricted Diet and Resveratrol Supplementation on Anthropometric Indices,Metabolic Parameters,and Serum Sirtuin-1 Levels in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Objective: There is a promising perspective regarding the potential effect of resveratrol in preventing and treating metabolic disturbances similar to that of calorie restriction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of calorie-restricted (CR) diet on metabolic parameters and then to investigate whether resveratrol supplementation has beneficial effects similar to CR diet in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 90 patients with NAFLD (males and females) aged 20 to 60 years with body mass index (BMI) ranging from 25 to 35 kg/m². Participants were assigned to one of three intervention groups as follows: The CR diet group (n = 30) received a prescribed low-calorie diet, the resveratrol group (n = 30) received 600 mg pure trans-resveratrol (2 × 300 mg) daily, and the placebo group (n = 30) received placebo capsules (2 × 300 mg) daily for 12 weeks. Fasting blood samples, anthropometric measurements, and dietary intake and physical activity data were collected for all participants at baseline and at the end of the trial.

Results: CR diet significantly reduced weight (by 4.5%); BMI; waist circumference; waist-to-hip ratio; and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lipid profiles in participants compared to resveratrol and placebo (all p < 0.05). Significant reductions in weight (by 1.1%) and BMI were found in the resveratrol group compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). ALT, AST, and lipid profiles did not change significantly in the resveratrol group (all p > 0.05). No significant changes were seen in hepatic steatosis grade, serum glycemic parameters, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and sirtuin-1 levels in any group (all p > 0.05).

Conclusions: CR diet with moderate weight loss has favorable effects on NAFLD, and resveratrol supplementation induced weight loss but failed to mimic other aspects of CR diet. Future studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term and dose-dependent effects of resveratrol on metabolic diseases.     

Fish oil combined with SCFA synergistically prevent tissue accumulation of NEFA during weight loss in obese mice

Based on their proposed metabolic effects, we examined whether fish oil (FO) and SCFA, alone or in combination, accelerate weight loss and the resultant metabolic improvements. Obesity was induced in male C57BL/6J mice by high-energy feeding for 10 weeks. The mice were transferred to a low-fat diet (2·5w%) for 4 weeks, the source of fat being either FO, a lard-safflower oil mix (control), or both types combined with SCFA. Weight, fasting insulin, tissue and serum lipid concentrations, as well as mRNA amount of genes related to adipose inflammation and hepatic fat oxidation were determined. All groups lost weight and showed reduced fasting insulin concentrations and reduced liver TAG. However, weight loss on the control-fat diet caused significant increase in hepatic and cardiac NEFA. Substituting 20?% of the fat with SCFA increased weight loss by 48?% and reduced fasting insulin 1·5-fold more than the no-SCFA diets. It furthermore significantly increased the amount of mRNA for PPAR-α, and decreased the mRNA amount for NF-κB in the liver and white adipose tissue. The FO diets enhanced improvement of tissue lipid levels. Thus, FO improved liver TAG and NEFA levels compared with weight loss on the control diet. Combining FO and SCFA further reduced tissue NEFA accumulation. In conclusion, we found that dietary SCFA had a significant impact on gene expression in the liver and adipose tissue, and that the effect of FO on tissue NEFA content was modified by SCFA. Thus, interactions between fatty acids should be considered when studying the effects of specific fatty acids.

Amelioration of Hepatic Steatosis in Mice through Bacteroides uniformis CBA7346-Mediated Regulation of High-Fat Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance and Lipogenesis

Dietary habits and gut microbiota play an essential role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and related factors such as insulin resistance and de novo lipogenesis. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of Bacteroides uniformis CBA7346, isolated from the gut of healthy Koreans, on mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD. Administration of B. uniformis CBA7346 reduced body and liver weight gain, serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, liver steatosis, and liver triglyceride levels in mice on an HFD; the strain also decreased homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance values, as well as serum cholesterol, triglyceride, lipopolysaccharide, leptin, and adiponectin levels in mice on an HFD. Moreover, B. uniformis CBA7346 controlled fatty liver disease by attenuating steatosis and inflammation and regulating de novo lipogenesis-related proteins in mice on an HFD. Taken together, these findings suggest that B. uniformis CBA7346 ameliorates HFD-induced NAFLD by reducing insulin resistance and regulating de novo lipogenesis in obese mice.
