| Description | Seabuckthorn possesses various bioactive compounds and exhibits several positive pharmacological activities. The present trial aims to determine the effect of seabuckthorn powder intake on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity prevention in mice. The results suggest that seabuckthorn powder intake decreased body weight, fat mass, and circulating lipid levels, and improved insulin sensitivity in HFD-fed mice. Moreover, dietary seabuckthorn powder alleviated hepatic steatosis and hepatic lipid accumulation induced by the HFD. Furthermore, seabuckthorn exhibited obvious anti-inflammatory capacity in white adipose tissue (WAT) by regulating the abundance of inflammation-related cytokines, such as interleukins 4, 6, and 10; tumor necrosis factor α; and interferon-γ. More importantly, dietary seabuckthorn powder promoted a thermogenic program in BAT and induced beige adipocyte formation in iWAT in HFD-fed mice. Interestingly, we found that seabuckthorn powder effectively restored AMPK and SIRT1 activities in both BAT and iWAT in HFD-fed mice. Collectively, these results potentiate the application of seabuckthorn powder as a nutritional intervention strategy to prevent obesity and related metabolic diseases by promoting thermogenesis in BAT and improving beige adipocyte formation in WAT. |
