High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity leads endothelial dysfunction and contributes to cardiovascular diseases. Palmitic acid (PA), a free fatty acid, is the main component of dietary saturated fat. Physcion, a chemical ingredient from Rhubarb, has been shown anti-hypertensive, anti-bacteria, and anti-tumor properties. However, the effects of physcion on endothelial dysfunction under HFD-induced obesity have not been reported. The purpose of the present study was to define the protective effect of physcion on HFD-induced endothelial dysfunction and its mechanisms involved. Obesity rat model was induced by HFD for 12 weeks. A rat thoracic aortic ring model was used to investigate the effects of physcion on HFD-induced impairment of vasorelaxation. Endothelial cell injury model was constructed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by treating with PA (0.25 mM) for 24 h. The results revealed that physcion reduced body weight and the levels of plasma TG, prevented impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation in HFD-fed rats. In PA-injured HUVECs, physcion inhibited impaired viability, apoptosis and inflammation. Physcion also suppressed PA-induced both oxidative stress and ER stress in HUVECs. Furthermore, physcion increased PA-induced decrease in the activation of eNOS/Nrf2 signaling in HUVECs. These findings suggest that physcion has a significant beneficial effect on regulating HFD-induced endothelial dysfunction, which may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress and ER stress through activation of eNOS/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
