dc.description.abstract | Scope: This study investigated metabolic effects of ursolic acid (UA), a peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha activator, in vivo. Methods and results: High-fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6J mice were orally administered UA (50 or 200 mg/kg body weight) for 8 wk. UA reduced liver and adipose tissue mass, adipocyte size, and plasma leptin concentrations, plasma triglyceride and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, while it elevated the high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and adiponectin concentrations significantly compared with controls. UA induced the expression of PPAR alpha and its responsive genes involved in fatty acid uptake and beta-oxidation in the livers, whereas genes involved in lipogenesis, including sterol regulatory element-binding proteins-1c, were down-regulated. UA administration improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity significantly compared with the HFD-fed control livers. UA administration also activated hepatic autophagy as assessed by the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3)-II and other key proteins in the autophagy pathway. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that UA ameliorates lipid and glucose metabolism in HFD-fed mice primarily by the activation of PPAR alpha and induction of the hepatic autophagy pathway. Thus, intake of UA in the diet or in an isolated form may ameliorate lipid and glucose metabolism. | - |
