Newest firstHigh fructose diet is a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The gut bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) has been shown to improve fructose-induced MetS, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated how A. muciniphila modulates fructose-induced MetS using multitissue, multiomics studies encompassing gut microbiota, plasma and gut metabolome, and hypothalamus single…
Open article record in new tab ↗Obesity remains a major epidemic in developed countries, with a limited range of effective pharmacological treatments. The pharmacological modulation of PPARα, CB1, or GLP-1 receptor activity has demonstrated beneficial effects, including anti-obesity actions. In this study, we evaluated a novel amide derivative of oleic acid and tyrosol (Oleyl hydroxytyrosol ether, OLHHA), a PPARα agonist, and CB1 antagonist, in…
The consumption of fructose is increasing day by day. Understanding the impact of increasing fructose consumption on the small intestine is crucial since the small intestine processes fructose into glucose. ∆9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a key cannabinoid, interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially mitigating inflammation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects…
Background and Objectives: Insulin resistance (IR) is a serious condition leading to development of diabetes and cardiovascular complications. Hyper-activation of cannabinoid receptors-1 (CB1) has been linked to the development of metabolic disorders such as IR. Therefore, the effect of blocking CB1 on the development of IR was investigated in the present study. Materials and Methods: A 12-week high-fructose/high-…
Open article record in new tab ↗The consumption of fructose has increased tremendously over the last five decades, which is to a large extent due to the development of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a commercial sugar additive that contains high amounts of free fructose. HFCS is often added to processed food and beverages partly because it is a powerful sweetener but even more so because the production is cheap. Although fructose in combinatio…
