普洱茶提取物对饮食诱导肥胖大鼠脂质合成相关基因表达的影响

目的观察普洱茶提取物(PTE)对饮食诱导性肥胖大鼠脂质合成相关基因的影响,探讨普洱茶抗肥胖的作用机制。方法30只雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠随机分为3组(n=10):正常对照组,普通饲料;高脂组,高脂饲料;高脂+PTE组,高脂饲料+PTE。采用高脂饲料建立肥胖大鼠模型,测定大鼠体重和脂肪组织重量,判定减肥效果;采用real-timePCR检测PTE对脂质合成相关基因的表达影响。结果PTE能有效减轻动物体重和脂肪组织重量,显著下调二酰基甘油酰转移酶-1(DGAT1)、固醇辅酶A去饱和酶1(SCD1)和固醇调节元件结合蛋白(SREBP)-1cmRNA的表达。结论PTE可通过调节脂质合成相关基因,减少脂肪的合成,达到预防肥胖的作用。

EFFECT OF PU-ERH TEA ON LIPOGENESIS AND EXPRESSION OF RELATIVE GENES IN OBESE RAT FED WITH HIGH FAT DIET

Objective To examine the effect of Pu-Erh tea extract(PTE) on genes expression of lipogenesis in white adipose tissue of rats fed high fat diet.Method Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=10):the control group(basal diet);the high fat group(high fat diet);the PTE group(high fat diet + Pu-Erh tea extract).Body weight and adipose tissue were measured.Expression of genes regulating lipid metabolism was assessed in adipose tissue.Results PTE supplementation prevented diet-induced increases in body weight and adipose tissue.Diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1(DGAT1),stearoyl-CoA desalurase-1(SCD1) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c(SREBP-1c) mRNA levels were markedly decreased in adipose tissue of rats fed PTE.Conclusion This study shows for the first time that Pu-Erh tea extract prevents diet-induced obesity,and this effect is partly mediated via a direct influence on adipose tissue.
