Abstract

In present study, the lipid-lowering effects of fucoxanthin (Fu) and its preliminary mechanisms were explored.The hyperadipose model of Caenorhabditis elegans was established by induction of 50 mmol/L glucose to observe the effects of Fu on triglyceride content (TG), fat deposition, growth and development, motor behavior, longevity and antioxidant enzyme activity of C.elegans.In further, the transcriptional levels of key genes related to fat metabolism were determined by fluorescent real-time quantitative PCR.Results showed that compared with the model group, 50 mg/L, 75 mg/L, and 100 mg/L Fu significantly reduced TG and fat deposition in C.elegans, among which 100 mg/L Fu had the strongest effect close to that of the blank group [(0.75±0.050) mmoL/g prot)].Similarly, 50,75,and 100 mg/L Fu improved the body length and width, head wagging frequency and body bending frequency of high-fat C.elegans. High-concentration Fu intervention significantly increased the average life span of high-fat C.elegans by 10.28% (P<0.05) and the longest life span (21 days).Compared with the model group, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) levels in C.elegans treated with different concentrations of Fu were significantly increased by 127.17% and 265.14% (P<0.05) respectively.Compared with the model group, different concentrations of Fu treatment significantly increased the SOD and GSH levels in C.elegans with the highest enhancements of 127.17% and 265.14%, respectively.After 75 mg/L Fu intervention, the transcription levels of key genes related to fat metabolism in C.elegans including daf-2, daf-16, cpt-2, mdt-15, acs-2, spb-1, tph-1, and FAT-5 were significantly changed (P<0.05).In conclusion, Fu has lipid-lowering effect on high-fat C.elegans, can ameliorate various adverse effects caused by hyperlipiditis, has an antioxidant effect in vivo, and its underlying mechanism involves complex signaling pathways.
