Supplementation with Phaseolus vulgaris Leaves Improves Metabolic Alterations Induced by High-Fat/Fructose Diet in Rats Under Time-Restricted Feeding
PLANT FOODS FOR HUMAN NUTRITION(2021)
Abstract
Time-restricted feeding and food enriched in polyphenols are strategies to prevent or reduce metabolic disorders. Bean leaves ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are a recognized source of polyphenolic compounds, whose effects on metabolic pathways are not well studied. We evaluated the combined effects of dietary supplementation with Phaseolus vulgaris leaves (10% w/w) (BL) and a 7-h daytime-restricted feeding protocol (RF) under a hypercaloric diet (high fat + high fructose) (HFFD) on the metabolic parameters related to glucose and lipid handling. Adult male Wistar rats were treated for 8 weeks with standard and HFFD diets with or without BL. The results showed that RF improved metabolic alterations induced by HFFD ( e.g ., hepatic steatosis, increased triacylglycerols, and serum lipoproteins). Supplementation with BL significantly enhanced this effect and downregulated the mRNA expression of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism genes in the liver. These results indicate that dietary supplementation with BL enhances the benefits elicited by RF.
