Abstract

The biological effects of heat-killed Pediococcus acidilactici R037 (R037) were evaluated when orally administered in mice and rats. Oral R037 administration at a daily dose of 10 and 100 mg/kg for 3 wk dose-dependently reduced fasting and non-fasting serum triglyceride concentrations in KK-Ay/TaJcl mice, a model of type II diabetes, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Serum levels of free fatty acids in the 100 mg/kg group tended to decrease (not statistically significant), and total cholesterol levels remained unchanged. Treatment with R037 resulted in a significant decrease in blood glucose (at 100 mg/kg) and liver weight (at 10 and 100 mg/kg), and a small body weight gain (at 100 mg/kg) as compared to those in control mice. In addition, oral R037 administration at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/d for 1 wk dose-dependently suppressed the increase in serum triglyceride levels in Wistar rats after oral fat loading. Moreover, intraduodenal injection of 120 mg of R037 in Wistar rats suppressed gastric vagal nerve activity (GVNA) indicating suppression of intestinal digestion and absorption of food, and suppression of appetite. The R037 injection potentiated epididymal white adipose tissue sympathetic nerve activity...Continue Reading
