Phytosterol of lotus seed core powder alleviates hypercholesterolemia by regulating gut microbiota in high-cholesterol diet-induced C57BL/6J mice

Dongmin Liu et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of lotus seed core powder phytosterol extract (LSP-PE) on hypercholesterolemia and intestinal microbiota in high-cholesterol diet (HCD)-induced C57BL/6 J mice. LSP-PE reduced levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing HDL cholesterol. It also improved liver and small intestine health, and down-regulated genes related to cholesterol metabolism. LSP-PE could restore the disorder of intestinal flora and regulate cholesterol metabolism-related genes.

Different dietary fibers unequally remodel gut microbiota and charge up anti-obesity effects

Jia-Jia Wen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different bioactive dietary fibers on obesity using a rat model. Ten types of fibers were evaluated and it was found that beta-glucan, arabinoxylan, xanthan gum, guar gum, apple pectin, carrageenan, inulin, and xylan were effective in reducing body weight and dyslipidemia. The fibers also improved biomarkers related to obesity and promoted the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. These findings suggest that dietary fiber can have a significant impact on obesity and gut microbiota.

RNA-binding protein hnRNPR reduces neuronal cholesterol levels by binding to and suppressing HMGCR

John Agbo et al.

Summary: Recent studies have found that hnRNPR acts as a repressor of HMGCR, affecting cholesterol homeostasis in neuronal cells. This repression is mediated by hnRNPR's RNA recognition motif, which modulates the stability and translation of HMGCR transcript. The interaction between hnRNPR and HMGCR mRNA, as well as the binding of hnRNPR to the 3' untranslated region of HMGCR, play a crucial role in regulating cholesterol levels in neuronal cells.
