    Abstract:
    Bioactivities of fish collagen peptide are now being elucidated in diverse biological systems. Here, we investigated the effect of fish collagen peptide on the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and in obese mice fed a high fat diet (HFD). Subcritical water-hydrolyzed fish collagen peptide (SWFCP) significantly inhibited lipid accumulation during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, which was accompanied by decreased expression of CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein-α (C/EBP-α), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), and adipocyte protein 2 (aP2) genes, key regulators of differentiation and maintenance of adipocytes. SWFCP was also found to suppress the palmitate-induced accumulation of lipid vacuoles in hepatocytes. Oral administration of SWFCP significantly reduced HFD-induced body weight gain without a significant difference in food intake. Consistent with its effects in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, SWFCP inhibited the expression of C/EBP-α, PPAR-γ, and aP2 in epididymal adipose tissue of mice fed a HFD, leading to a significant reduction in adipocyte size. Furthermore, SWFCP significantly reduced serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein, and increased serum high-density lipoprotein. These observations suggest that SWFCP inhibits adipocyte differentiation through a mechanism involving transcriptional repression of the major adipogenic regulators C/EBP-α and PPAR-γ, thereby reducing body weight gain and adipogenesis in an animal model of obesity.
