Abstract

There is currently a growing interest in the use of nutraceuticals as a means of preventing the development of complex diseases. Given the considerable health potential of milk-derived peptides, the aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of glycomacropeptide (GMP) on metabolic syndrome. Particular emphasis was placed on the potential mechanisms mitigating cardiometabolic disorders in high-fat, high-fructose diet-fed mice in the presence of GMP or Bipro, an isocaloric control. The administration of GMP for 12 weeks reduced obesity, hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia caused by a high-fat, high-fructose diet, resulting in a decline in insulin resistance. GMP also lessened systemic inflammation, as indicated by decreased circulating inflammatory cytokines. In the intestinal and hepatic tissues, GMP improved homeostasis by increasing insulin sensitivity and attenuating high-fat, high-fructose-induced inflammation, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Biochemical and histological analyses revealed improved hepatic steatosis and fatty acid composition in the livers of high-fat, high-fructose diet-fed mice treated with GMP compared to Bipro. A trend toward a decrease in bile acids without any marked changes in intestinal microbiota composition characterized GMP-treated animals compared to those administered Bipro. GMP offers considerable potential for fighting metabolic syndrome-related components and complications given its beneficial effects on risk factors such as inflammation, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress without involving the intestinal microbiota.
