Tangeretin improves hepatic steatosis and oxidative stress through the Nrf2 pathway in high fat diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease mice

Zunli Ke, Si Tan, Haiyang Li, Shanshan Jiang, Yuping Li, Rui Chen, Mingxia Li

Summary: Nonalcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver condition associated with excessive fat deposition and is closely related to obesity or metabolic syndrome. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the progression of NAFLD, and reducing oxidative stress may improve the condition. Tangeretin, a natural compound with antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties, has shown promise in ameliorating NAFLD. This study found that tangeretin supplementation slowed down NAFLD progression by improving metabolic indexes, reducing hepatic oxidative stress, and reducing fat accumulation in the liver. The study also identified the Nrf2 pathway as a potential mechanism through which tangeretin exerts its effects. These findings suggest that tangeretin could be used as a dietary therapy for obesity-related NAFLD or metabolic syndrome.

Inflammasome NLRP3 Potentially Links Obesity-Associated Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation and Insulin Resistance with Alzheimer's Disease

Anna Litwiniuk, Wojciech Bik, Malgorzata Kalisz, Agnieszka Baranowska-Bik

Summary: Alzheimer's disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus share common features such as chronic inflammation, increased oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and impaired energy metabolism. Adiposity-related inflammatory factors lead to the formation of inflammasome complexes, which can affect neuroinflammatory processes. The abnormal activation of the NLRP3 signaling pathway may link adiposity with cognitive impairment in humans.

Apilimod activates the NLRP3 inflammasome through lysosome-mediated mitochondrial damage

Yingting Hou, Hongbin He, Ming Ma, Rongbin Zhou

Summary: NLRP3 is an important innate immune sensor that activates the inflammasome complex, resulting in the secretion of IL-1 beta and pyroptosis. The mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in response to crystals or particulates is unclear, but lysosomal damage has been implicated. This study discovered that apilimod, a lysosomal disruptor, is a selective and potent NLRP3 agonist that triggers mitochondrial damage and lysosomal dysfunction, leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Maximilien Franck, Juan de Toro-Martin, Thibault V. Varin, Veronique Garneau, Genevieve Pilon, Denis Roy, Patrick Couture, Charles Couillard, Andre Marette, Marie-Claude Vohl

Summary: Numerous studies have found that diets rich in phenolic compounds are beneficial for immune-metabolic health, but the effects vary among individuals and the mechanisms are not well understood. This study used transcriptomic analysis to identify two subgroups of responders and non-responders to raspberry consumption based on whole-blood RNAseq data. Responders showed a significant decrease in triglycerides, cholesterol, and C-reactive protein levels, and had distinct gene expression and microbiota profiles compared to non-responders. The transcriptomic approach used in this study provides a promising framework for understanding the inter-individual variability in the impact of foods on immune-metabolic health.
