Cyclosorus terminans Extract Ameliorates Insulin Resistance and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in High-Fat Diet (HFD)-Induced Obese Rats.

ABSTRACT: Interruptins A and B exhibited anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative effects. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic ability of extract enriched by interruptins A and B (EEI) from an edible fern Cyclosorus terminans on insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats and elucidate their possible mechanisms. HFD-induced obese rats were treated with EEI for 2 weeks. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to examine the molecular basis. We found that EEI supplementation significantly attenuated body and liver weight gain, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance. Concurrently, EEI increased liver and soleus muscle glycogen storage and serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. EEI also
