Popis: Inflammation in brown adipose tissue (BAT) causes BAT to lose its ability to regulate energy metabolism, which exacerbates obesity development. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of quercetin on BAT in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Quercetin reduced proinflammatory and macrophage genes and increased antioxidant genes in the BAT of HFD-fed mice and in TNFα-induced brown adipocytes. In addition to increasing silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) levels, quercetin suppressed nuclear translocation and increased deacetylation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) subunit p65. The effects of quercetin on SIRT1 and NFκB p65 deacetylation disappeared in SIRT1-knockdown brown adipocytes. MicroRNAs that negatively regulate SIRT1 were downregulated in the BAT of HFDQ-fed mice. Taken together, these results suggest that quercetin improves obesity-induced inflammation in BAT by suppressing the NFκB pathway through activation of SIRT1.
