Depot-specific effects of treadmill running and rutin on white adipose tissue function in diet-induced obese mice

White adipose tissue (WAT) is a critical organ involved in regulating metabolic homeostasis under obese condition. Strategies that could positively affect WAT function would hold promise for fighting against obesity and its complications. The aim of the present study is to explore the effects of treadmill exercise training and rutin intervention on adipose tissue function from diet-induced obese (DIO) mice and whether fat depot-specific effects existed. In epididymal adipose tissue, high-fat diet (HFD) resulted in reduction in adiponectin mRNA expression, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR)-γ and DsbA-L protein expression, elevation in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers including 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP-78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and p-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis and insulin stimulated Akt phosphorylation ex vivo were blunted from HFD group. The combination of rutin with exercise (HRE) completely restored GRP78 and p-JNK protein expression to normal levels, as well as blunted signaling ex vivo. In inguinal adipose tissue, HFD led to increased adiponectin mRNA expression, PPAR-γ, GRP78, and p-JNK protein expression, and reduction in DsbA-L. HRE is effective for restoring p-JNK, PPAR-γ, and DsbA-L. In conclusion, depot-specific effects may exist in regard to the effects of rutin and exercise on key molecules involved in regulating adipose tissue function (i.e., ER stress markers, PPAR-γ and DsbA-L, adiponectin expression, and secretion, ex vivo catecholamine stimulated lipolysis and insulin stimulated Akt phosphorylation) from DIO mice (AU)

[Efficacy and safety of Danhong injection for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis：Meta-analysis].

To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Danhong injection for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF), two researchers electronically searched PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data and VIP databases from the date of establishment to May 2016 for all randomized controlled trials(RCTs) and quasi-RCTs on the use of Danhong injection in patients with IPF. Manual search in relevant journals and search of relevant literature on other websites were also performed. The data extraction and quality assessment of included RCTs and quasi-RCT were conducted by two reviewers independently. Then, Meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.3 software. A total of 12 RCTs involving 844 patients were included, 423 cases in experiment group and 421 cases in control group. The results of meta-analysis indicated that the Danhong injection group was superior than the control group in clinical effectiveness(RR=1.36, 95%CI 1.25 to 1.49, P<0.000 01), increased DLCO value(MD=4.25, 95%CI 3.32 to 5.18, P<0.000 01), and increased PaO2 value(MD=14.51, 95%CI 12.35 to 16.68, P<0.000 01). The analysis results showed that Danhong injection could significantly reduce the level of TGF-ß1 in serum. There were no serious or frequently happened adverse effects in the Danhong injection group, indicating high safety and good tolerance of Danhong injection in treatment of IPF. The current evidences suggested that Danhong injection in short term use(<12 weeks) could increase clinical effectiveness, improve DLCO and PaO2, and decrease the level of TGF-ß1 in serum of IPF patients, with less adverse effects. However, these results should be carefully interpreted due to the low methodology quality and small sample size of trials, and this conclusion had to be further verified by high quality, large scale and double blinded RCTs.
