This study aimed to examine whether Ocimum gratissimum (OG) has the Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity in vitro and in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). OG water extract exhibited an in vitro ACE-inhibition activity, with the 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) value being 56.3μg/mL, which is higher than rutin’s 43.08μg/mL. The main phenolic compound found in OG extract...
AimVisceral fat is more significantly correlated with inflammation markers and oxidative stress than is subcutaneous fat. Myeloperoxidase is one inflammatory signal secreted after polymorphonuclear leukocytes are stimulated. However, few studies discuss the correlation between visceral fat and the inflammatory response in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
MethodsSixty‐six patients with...
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) decreases adipose mass and increases vitamin E levels in the liver and adipose tissue in mice. The aim of the present study was to examine the mechanism by which CLA alters vitamin E levels in tissues and antioxidant activity in mice.C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups and fed 5% lipid as soybean oil alone (control group), 4% soybean oil supplemented with 1%...
We previously reported that a diet high in oxidized frying oil (OFO) is less adipogenic but induces glucose intolerance in rodents, a situation somewhat is similar to that in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)–fed mice. The present study compared the lipid and glucose metabolism effects of dietary OFO and CLA to clarify how the OFO diet compromises glucose tolerance.C57BL/6J mice were divided into four...
