The maternal UCP2 3＇ untranslated region （UTR） D/D genotype and D allele frequency were significantly higher in the case group compared with the control group （odds ratio （OR） 3.233; 95% confidence interval （C/） 1.103 9.476; P= 0.040; OR： 3.484; 95% CI： for neural tube defects 2.109 5.753; P 〈 0.001）. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for neural tube defects showed that a matemal UCP2 3＇ UTR D/D genotype was negatively interacted with the mothers＇ consumption of frequent fresh fruit and vegetables （S = 0.007）, positively interacted with the mothers＇ frequency of germinated potato consumption （S = 2.15） and positively interacted with the mothers＇ body mass index （S = 3.50）. These findings suggest that maternal UCP2 3＇ UTR gene polymorphism, pregnancy time, consumption of germinated potatoes and body mass index are associated with an increased risk for neural tube defects in children from mothers living in Shanxi province, China. Moreover, there is an apparent gene-environment interaction involved in the development of neural tube defects in offspring.展开更多

Methods： Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the normal control group （n=8） that was on a standard chow diet, and the obese model group （n=42） that was on a diet of high fat chow. Two weeks after the high fat diet, 29 obese rats in the obese model group were further randomly divided into 3 groups： the untreated obese model group （n=9）, the met＇formin group （n=10, mefformin 300 mg-kg-1.day-1）, and the JMP group （n=10, JMP 4 g.kg-1.dayl）. After 8-week treatment, body weight, wet weight of visceral fat, and percentage of body fat （PBF） were measured. The levels of fasting blood glucose, serum lipids, and insulin were assessed, and insulin sensitivity index （ISI） was calculated. The adipose tissue section was stained with hematoxylin-Eosin, and the cellular diameter and quantity of adipocytes were evaluated by light microscopy. The mRNA expressions of beta3-AR and UCP-2 from the pet-renal fat tissue were determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. Results： Compared with the obese model group, treatment with JMP resulted in significantly lower body weight, wet weight of visceral fat, PBF, and diameter of adipocytes, and significantly higher level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ISI （all P〈0.01）, JMP increased the mRNA expressions of beta3-AR and UCP-2 from pedrenal fat tissue （P〈0.05, P〈0.01）. Conclusions： JMP could reduce body weight and adipocyte size; and the effect was associated with the up-regulation of beta3-AR and UCP-2 expressions in the adipose tissue and improvement of insulin sensitivity.展开更多
