Βeta‐glucan suppresses high‐fat‐diet‐induced obesity by attenuating dyslipidemia and modulating obesogenic marker expressions in rats

Abstract

The current study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Βeta-glucan (BG) which is a key bioactive compound predominantly present in mushrooms and cereals against high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity, and to understand its mechanism of action. Obesity was induced in rats by supplementing the diet with HFD and BG (40mg/kg bodyweight) for a period of 6 weeks. At the end of the experimental period, the body weight, as well as hyperglycemic, dyslipidemia and obesogenic marker expressions were assessed in the control group and in the experimental obese rats. Administration of BG to obese rats significantly reduced body weight gain and attenuated hyperglycemia which was confirmed by the decreased blood glucose and insulin resistance. At the same time, BG mitigated dyslipidemia by altering expressions of PPAR-γ, SREBP-1c, FAS, HMG-CoA reductase, and Fab-4 in HFD-induced obese rats. In conclusion, this study revealed that BG is a potential candidate to ameliorate HFD-induc ed obesity by modulating obesogenic marker expressions, especially by regulating the master regulator PPAR-γ.
