Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the effects of three kinds of RS4 resistant starch on inflammatory cytokines in C57/BL6J
mice fed high-fat diet. Methods: A total of 72 C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into six groups with 12 mice in
each group: control group (CL), high-fat group (HF) and HF-SPS, HF-HPCL-SPS, HF-CLOSA-SPS and HF-CAAC-SPS
groups, fed a high fat diet containing 15% sweet potato starch (SPS), hydroxypropyl cross-linked sweet-potato modified
starch (HPCL-SPS), cross-linked octenyl succinic anhydride sweet-potato modified starch (CLOSA-SPS) and citric acid
acetylated sweet-potato modified starch (CAAC-SPS), respectively. After 12 weeks of feeding, the levels of serum free fatty
acid (FFA), necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interlukin6 (IL-6) and monocyte-chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) were determined.
Results: The levels of serum FFA, TNF-α, IL-6 and MCP-1 of HF group and HF-SPS group were significantly higher than
those in CL group. The size of epididymal adipocyte and the levels of serum FFA, TNF-α, IL-6 and MCP-1 were reduced
by HPCL-SPS and CAAC-SPS treatments. Conclusions: HPCL-SPS and CAAC-SPS can suppress the serum FFA and
inflammatory cytokines and affect the size of epididymal adipocyte in C57BL/6J mice fed high-fat diet, and thus, have an
improvement on obesity-related low-grade inflammatory state and metabolic diseases.

Key words: RS4-type resistant starch, obesity, inflammatory cytokines, adipocyte
