Trehalose Prevents Adipocyte Hypertrophy and Mitigates Insulin Resistance in Mice with Established Obesity
Our group recently demonstrated that simultaneous administration of trehalose with a high-fat diet (HFD) suppresses adipocyte hypertrophy and mitigates insulin resistance in mice. For the present study, we hypothesized that similar effects of trehalose would be observed in mice with previously-estab...

Zusammenfassung: | Our group recently demonstrated that simultaneous administration of trehalose with a high-fat diet (HFD) suppresses adipocyte hypertrophy and mitigates insulin resistance in mice. For the present study, we hypothesized that similar effects of trehalose would be observed in mice with previously-established obesity. Obese mice were fed a HFD and drinking water containing 0.3 or 2.5% (weight/volume) trehalose or distilled water (DW) ad libitum for 8 wk. After 7 wk intake of a HFD and trehalose, fasting serum insulin levels and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in the 0.3% Tre/HFD group were significantly lower than those in the DW/HFD group (p |
