Hyun YJ, Park SY, Kim JY. The effect of fermented rice germ extracts on the inhibition of glucose uptake in the gastrointestinal tract in vitro and in vivo. Food Sci Biotechnol 2023; 32:371-379. [PMID: 36778085 PMCID: PMC9905455 DOI: 10.1007/s10068-022-01198-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fermented rice germ extracts on the inhibition of glucose uptake in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Samples were prepared by extracting rice germ fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum with 30% ethanol (RG_30E) or 50% ethanol (RG_50E). Ferulic acid was determined as the active component in the samples. RG_30E significantly inhibited glucose uptake and mRNA expression of GLUT2 and SGLT1 to a larger extent than RG_50E in Caco-2 cells. A single oral administration was performed on C57BL/6 mice to confirm which substrate (glucose, sucrose, or maltose) the sample inhibited absorption of, improving postprandial blood glucose elevation. As a result, RG_30E resulted in significantly lower blood glucose levels and AUC after glucose and sucrose administration. Therefore, fermented rice germ extracted with 30% ethanol regulates glucose uptake through glucose transporters and can be expected to alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia in the GI tract.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a progressive and widespread skeletal muscle disease that is related to an increased possibility of adverse consequences such as falls, fractures, physical disabilities and death, and its risk increases with age. With the deepening of the understanding of sarcopenia, the disease has become a major clinical disease of the elderly and a key challenge of healthy ageing. However, the exact molecular mechanism of this disease is still unclear, and the selection of treatment strategies and the evaluation of its effect are not the same. Most importantly, the early symptoms of this disease are not obvious and are easy to ignore. In addition, the clinical manifestations of each patient are not exactly the same, which makes it difficult to effectively study the progression of sarcopenia. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and use animal models to understand the pathophysiology of sarcopenia and develop therapeutic strategies. This paper reviews the mouse models that can be used in the study of sarcopenia, including ageing models, genetically engineered models, hindlimb suspension models, chemical induction models, denervation models, and immobilization models; analyses their advantages and disadvantages and application scope; and finally summarizes the evaluation of sarcopenia in mouse models.

Heat-Killed Bifidobacterium breve B-3 Enhances Muscle Functions: Possible Involvement of Increases in Muscle Mass and Mitochondrial Biogenesis. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12010219. [PMID: 31952193 PMCID: PMC7019314 DOI: 10.3390/nu12010219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2019] [Revised: 01/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
A previous clinical study on pre-obesity subjects revealed that Bifidobacteriumbreve B-3 shows anti-obesity effects and possibly increases muscle mass. Here, we investigated the effects of B-3 on muscle function, such as muscle strength and metabolism, and some signaling pathways in skeletal muscle. Male rodents were orally administered live B-3 (B-3L) or heat-killed B-3 (B-3HK) for 4 weeks. We found that administration of B-3 to rats tended to increase muscle mass and affect muscle metabolism, with stronger effects in the B-3HK group than in the B-3L group. B-3HK significantly increased muscle mass and activated Akt in the rat soleus. With regard to muscle metabolism, B-3HK significantly increased phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC)-1α and cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) gene expression in the rat soleus, suggesting an effect on the AMPK-PGC1α-mitochondrial biogenesis pathway. Furthermore, B-3HK promoted oxidative muscle fiber composition in the gastrocnemius. We also observed a significantly higher level of murine grip strength in the B-3HK group than in the control group. These findings suggest the potential of heat-killed B-3 in promoting muscle hypertrophy and modifying metabolic functions, possibly through the Akt and AMPK pathways, respectively.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle wasting is highly correlated with not only reduced quality of life but also higher morbidity and mortality. Although an increasing number of patients are suffering from various kinds of muscle atrophy and weakness, there is still no effective therapy available, and skeletal muscle is considered as an under-medicated organ. Food provided not only essential macronutrients but also functional substances involved in the modulation of the physiological systems of our body. Natural constituents from commonly consumed dietary plants, either extracts or compounds, have attracted more and more attention to be developed as agents for preventing and treating muscle wasting due to their safety and effectiveness, as well as structural diversity. This review provides an overview of the mechanistic aspects of muscle wasting, and summarizes the extracts and compounds from food sources as potential therapeutic agents against muscle wasting.

Abstract
It is well-known that imbalance state of glucose metabolism triggers many metabolic diseases and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle accounts for 90% of body weight. Geniposide is one of the major natural bioactive constituents of gardenia fruit, and the regulation of geniposide on glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle has not yet been investigated. Here, on the basis of microarray analysis, we discovered that geinposide decreased pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) expression in skeletal muscle of mice and subsequently found that geniposide inhibited the expressions of forkhead box O1 (FoxO1), PDK4, and phosphorylated pyruvate dehydrogenase in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, geniposide promoted a switch of slow-to-fast myofiber type and glucose utilization, suggesting that geniposide improved glucose homeostasis. In addition, mechanistic studies revealed that geniposide played above roles by regulating FoxO1/PDK4, which controlled fuel selection via pyruvate dehydrogenase. Meanwhile, effects of geniposide mentioned above could be reversed by FoxO1 overexpression. Together, these results establish that geniposide confers controls on fuel usage and glucose homeostasis through FoxO1/PDK4 in skeletal muscle.
