Abstract

Background: Crab-flavored seafood is a well-known traditional Japanese product that is sold as "imitation crab" worldwide. Although it is a low-cost, low-fat, high-protein food, there are few data on its potential health benefits. Here, we have assessed the effects of crab-flavored seafood consumption on organ weight and serum biomarkers levels in rats.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats (male; aged 6 weeks) were fed a normal diet (n = 8) or a normal diet with 5% dried crab-flavored seafood (n = 8) for 84 days. Food intake and overall body weight were measured every week; organ weight and blood biochemistry were evaluated at the end of the administration period.

Results: After 84 days, there were no significant differences in food intake, overall body weight, or organ weight between the 2 groups; however, the muscle weight of rats fed crab-flavored seafood tended to be higher than that of rats fed the normal diet. Several serum biomarkers did not differ between the 2 groups, but serum high-density lipoprotein, total bilirubin, and indirect bilirubin levels were significantly raised in rats fed crab-flavored seafood. Moreover, blood urea nitrogen was significantly lower, and some liver function parameters tended to be lower in rats fed crab-flavored seafood.

Conclusions: Consumption of crab-flavored seafood may be effective for promoting muscle protein synthesis and improving serum biomarkers associated with disorders such as cardiovascular disease and stroke. Thus, crab-flavored seafood may have application as a functional food for the global management of human health.

幼鼠摄入蟹味海鲜的潜在益处
背景介绍蟹味海鲜是日本著名的传统产品,以 "仿螃蟹 "的名义销往世界各地。虽然它是一种低成本、低脂肪、高蛋白的食品,但有关其潜在健康益处的数据却很少。在此,我们评估了食用蟹味海鲜对大鼠器官重量和血清生物标志物水平的影响:方法:给 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠(雄性;6 周龄)喂食正常饮食(n = 8)或添加 5%干蟹味海鲜的正常饮食(n = 8),持续 84 天。每周测量食物摄入量和总重量;给药期结束时评估器官重量和血液生化指标:84天后,两组大鼠的食物摄入量、总体体重或器官重量均无显著差异;但是,喂食蟹味海鲜的大鼠的肌肉重量往往高于喂食普通食物的大鼠。两组大鼠的一些血清生物标志物没有差异,但喂食蟹味海鲜的大鼠血清高密度脂蛋白、总胆红素和间接胆红素水平显著升高。此外,喂食蟹味海鲜的大鼠血尿素氮明显降低,一些肝功能指标也趋于降低:结论:食用蟹味海鲜可有效促进肌肉蛋白质合成,改善与心血管疾病和中风等疾病相关的血清生物标志物。因此,蟹味海鲜可作为一种功能性食品用于全球人类健康管理。

期刊介绍: Nutrition and Metabolic Insights is a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal focusing on all aspects of nutrition and metabolism. This encompasses nutrition, including the biochemistry of metabolism, exercise and associated physical processes and also includes clinical articles that relate to metabolism, such as obesity, lipidemias and diabetes. It includes research at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. This journal welcomes new manuscripts for peer review on the following topics: Nutrition, including the biochemistry of metabolism, Exercise and associated physical processes, Clinical articles that relate to metabolism, such as obesity, lipidemias and diabetes, Research at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels, Other areas of interest include gene-nutrient interactions, the effects of hormones, models of metabolic function, macronutrient interactions, outcomes of changes in diet, and pathophysiology.
