Grape Seed Compounds May Influence the Liver's Internal Clock Through Small Genetic Regulators

Abstract

250 mg kg of grape seed proanthocyanidins extract (GSPE) administered to Wistar rats modulated the expression of liver clock genes.

  • GSPE influenced the expression of both Bmal1 and miR-27b-3p in the liver.
  • Both Bmal1 and miR-27b-3p exhibited a in their expression.
  • There was a negative interaction observed between Bmal1 and miR-27b-3p.
  • GSPE may adjust the hepatic peripheral clock through miRNA modulation.
  • In vitro studies indicated that Bmal1 is sensitive to GSPE, but this effect did not involve miR-27b-3p.
