Non-estrogenic Xanthohumol Derivatives Mitigate Insulin Resistance and Cognitive Impairment in High-Fat Diet-induced Obese Mice

Abstract: Xanthohumol (XN), a prenylated flavonoid from hops, improves dysfunctional glucose and lipid metabolism in animal models of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, its metabolic transformation into the estrogenic metabolite, 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN), poses a potential health concern for its use in humans. To address this concern, we evaluated two hydrogenated derivatives, α,β-dihydro-XN (DXN) and tetrahydro-XN (TXN), which showed negligible affinity for estrogen receptors α and β, and which cannot be metabolicall… Show more

“…Concentrations of blood glucose and plasma concentrations of TAG, and leptin were determined as described previously, and plasma insulin was determined using a mouse insulin ELISA kit (Alpco Diagnostics, Salem, NH, USA) [52]. The plasma HDL-C concentration was determined using the MaxDiscovery™ HDL-C Cholesterol Assay Kit (Bio Scientific Corporation, Austin, TX, USA).…”

“…GF mice received a higher concentration of glucose to ensure an increase in blood glucose concentrations. Blood taken from the tail vein was sampled using a hand-held glucometer at 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min, as described previously [52].…”

“…The same group found that XN and its hydrogenated derivatives α, β-dihydro-xanthohumol (DXN) and tetrahydro-xanthohumol (TXN) improved glucose tolerance as well as cognitive function in mice fed with high fat diet. The study suggested beneficial effects of DXN and TXN in obese mice, fed high fat diet, with metformin associated neuro-metabolic impairments, without risk of liver injury and adverse estrogenic effects [35].…”

“…Insulin levels in plasma were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits from EMD Millipore (Billerica, MA) for insulin. The homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) of the mice was calculated from the simultaneous samples of plasma insulin and glucose as previously described [16].…”
