The study showed that curcumin can alleviate obesity in high-fat diet mice by regulating energy metabolism and activating the FNDC5/irisin pathway, improving insulin sensitivity and overall energy metabolism.
Objective: Curcumin (Cur) has a beneficial role in preventing metabolic dysfunctions; however, the underlying mechanism are not yet fully understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the beneficial metabolic effects of curcumin are associated with the regulation of energy metabolism and activation of fibronectin type 3 domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5)/irisin. Methods: We used cellular and molecular techniques to investigate the effects of Cur on C57 BL/6 mice that were fed either a control diet or a high-fat diet (HFD) with or without 0.2% Cur for 10 wk. Factors involved in energy metabolism, inflammatory responses, and insulin signaling, as well as the involvement of FNDC5/irisin pathway, were assessed. Results: Cur alleviated adiposity and suppressed inflammatory response in white adipose tissue (WAT) of HFD mice. Meanwhile, Cur administration increased plasma irisin concentration and improved insulin sensitivity of HFD mice. Cur increased the oxygen consumption and heat production and reduced respiratory exchange ratio (RES) in HFD mice, which were accompanied by the enhancement of metabolic activity in brown fat and inguinal WAT. Additionally, the improvement of basal metabolic rate by Cur may be partly regulated by the FNDC5/ p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)/extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) 1/2 pathway. Conclusions: These findings demonstrated that dietary Cur alleviated diet-induced adiposity by improving insulin sensitivity and whole body energy metabolism via the FNDC5/p38 MAPK/ERK pathways.
