The CB1 cannabinoid receptor regulates autophagy in the tibialis anterior skeletal muscle in mice

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates energy metabolism, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and exerts its actions mainly through the type 1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1). Likewise, autophagy is involved in several cellular processes. It is required for the normal development...

Role of phenolic compounds from brazilian native fruits on obesity-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle is an important metabolic tissue in glucose uptake and thus in glycemic homeostasis. Evidence suggests that phenolic compounds may exert beneficial health effects against metabolic disorders associated to obesity including its state of peripheral insulin resistance. The objective of this ...

Novo Efeito Cardioprotetor da L-Carnitina em Camundongos Obesos Diabéticos: Regulação da Expressão de Quemerina e CMKLRI no Coração e Tecidos Adiposos

Resumo Fundamentos A L-carnitina (LC) tem muitos efeitos benéficos em animais diabéticos e humanos, mas seu efeito regulatório sobre a quemerina como uma citocina inflamatória e seu receptor no estado diabético são desconhecidos. Objetivos O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar o efeit...

The role of jaboticaba (Plinia jaboticaba (VELL. ) Berg) phenolic compounds in obesity-associated intestinal inflammation

Jaboticaba (Plinia jaboticaba (Vell.) Berg) is a Brazilian native fruit belonging to the Myrtaceae family. Previously it was demonstrated that phenolicrich extracts from jaboticaba (PEJ) possess health-beneficial properties in dietinduced obesity; however, whether PEJ modulates the obesity-associated int...

Sericin as treatment of obesity: morphophysiological effects in obese mice fed with high-fat diet

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the effects of sericin extracted from silkworm Bombyx mori cocoon on morphophysiological parameters in mice with obesity induced by high-fat diet. Methods Male C57Bl6 mice aged 9 weeks were allocated to one of two groups - Control and Obese, and fed a standard or hig...

Muscular resistance, hypertrophy and strength training equally reduce adiposity, inflammation and insulin resistance in mice with diet-induced obesity

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effect of three types of muscular resistance training on adiposity, inflammation levels and insulin activity in Swiss mice with fat-rich diet-induced obesity. Methods Lean and obese male Swiss mice were selected and allocated to one of eight groups comprising eight ...

Lean vs. obese mice: the ventral prostate revisited

Int. j. morphol; 35 (2), 2017
Obese mice (C57BL/6J-ob/ob) do not express leptin and develops hyperphagia, decreased energy expenditure, obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypothermia, and infertility. Obesity causes reproductive dysfunction with negative impacts on prostatic structure and fertility. We aimed to compare the str...
