Vanadium(IV)-Chlorodipicolinate Protects against Hepatic Steatosis by Ameliorating Lipid Peroxidation, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, and Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly prevalent and represents a growing challenge in terms of prevention and treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effects and the underlying mechanisms of vanadium(IV)-chlorodipicolinate ([V^IVO(dipic-Cl)(H₂O)₂, VOdipic-Cl]) in a mouse model of NAFLD induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). VOdipic-Cl (10 mg/kg/day body weight) treatment for 4 weeks significantly controlled body weight gain, and effectively reduced the increase in serum and hepatic triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels, mitigated pathological injury, decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and inhibited endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inflammatory response in the livers of C57BL/6 obese mice.
