Trans-ε-viniferin, a resveratrol dimer found mainly in grapevine wood, has shown protective capacities against hepatic steatosis in vivo. Nevertheless, this compound is very poorly bioavailable. Thus, the aim of the present study is to determine the potential anti-steatotic properties of 1 and 10 µM of trans-ε-viniferin and its four glucuronide metabolites in AML-12 cells treated with palmitic acid as an in vitro model of hepatic steatosis. The effect of the molecules in cell viability and triglyceride accumulation, and the underlying mechanisms of action by Real-Time PCR and Western Blot were analysed, as well as the quantification of trans-ε-viniferin and the identified bioactive metabolite inside cells and their incubation media. Interestingly, we were able to determine the triglyceride-lowering property of one of the glucuronides (trans-ε-viniferin-2-glucuronide), which acts on de novo lipogenesis, fatty acid uptake and triglyceride assembly. The glucuronides of trans-ε-viniferin would therefore be partly responsible for the in vivo observed anti-steatotic properties of the parent compound. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
