Abstract

The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of fish-oil-derived monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) containing large amounts of C20:1 and C22:1 isomers on metabolic disorders in mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a 32% lard diet (control) or a 27% lard plus 5% saury-oil-derived MUFA diet for 6 weeks. Dietary MUFA improved insulin resistance and alleviated metabolic syndrome risk factors by reducing blood glucose and lipids. These favorable changes may be attributed to an improved adipocytokine profile. MUFA ingestion resulted in favorable changes in mRNA expression of genes involved in glucose/lipid metabolism (SCD-1, CPT1a, UCPs, and CS) as well as inflammation (MAC1, MMP3, and SAA3) and alterations in fatty acid composition. Our data suggest that marine MUFA improved glucose/lipid homeostasis and hindered the development of metabolic syndrome in obese mice.
