摘要：

Alkylresorcinols are phenolic lipids present at levels of 0.03-0.15% in wheat and rye grains and almost 10 times higher in respective bran products. Despite numerous studies on the influence of dietary fibers on the regulation of energy metabolism, this issue still remains controversial. The objective of our current studies was to investigate whether 5-n-alk(en)ylresorcinols, natural phenolic components of high fiber human diets, may be considered as natural regulators of excessive fat accumulation. Our studies revealed that 5-n-alk(en)ylresorcinols isolated from wheat and rye bran inhibit glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the key enzyme in triglyceride synthesis in adipocytes, specifically and effectively. Further in vitro studies showed that these compounds also prevent triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. The most effective compound in both systems was 5-n-heneicosylresorcinol. The results indicate that the potential to prevent triglyceride accumulation increases with the hydrophobicity of the phenolic inhibitor.
