Oral intake of the microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica, Chlorella vulgaris, or Phaeodactylum tricornutum improves metabolic conditions in hypercaloric-fed mice
Oral intake of the microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica, Chlorella vulgaris, or Phaeodactylum tricornutum improves metabolic conditions in hypercaloric-fed mice
Abstract (English)
Diet-induced metabolic load is associated with excess body weight and liver steatosis. Here, selected microalgae,
known to contain bioactive nutrients, were studied for beneficial metabolic effects in a mouse model of liver
steatosis. Adult mice (8 per group) were fed either a Western-style diet (WSD) or a control diet +/ 15 % of the
microalgae Chlorella vulgaris (CV), Nannochloropsis oceanica (NO), or Phaeodactylum tricornutum (PT) for
12 weeks. We evaluated liver fat content and liver damage, as well as fecal microbiota and lipopolysaccharide
(LPS) translocation. NO supplementation to a WSD reduced the grade of liver steatosis (from 17 % to 4.7 %,
p < 0.002), the liver damage score (p < 0.001), and LPS translocation (p < 0.001). PT had similar effects on liver
damage score (p < 0.001) and LPS translocation (p < 0.001). CV supplementation reduced LPS translocation
(p < 0.001). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of microalgae may be a novel sustainable approach to
combat metabolic loads.
