Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of developing metabolic diseases, such as osteoporosis, obesity, and diabetes. Thus, chemoprophylaxis for postmenopausal symptoms through the daily diet is critical. Vanillic acid (VA) is a phenolic compound found in the herbal medicine “Toki” (Angelica acutiloba) and the mycelium of the shiitake mushroom Lentinula edodes. VA has no affinity for estrogen receptors and may offer preventive effects against these diseases. Here, we demonstrate the metabolic effects of VA in ovariectomized mice. Ten-week-old ovariectomized mice were fed a VA-containing diet (100 mg/kg body weight/day) for 10 weeks. Dietary VA significantly prevented femoral bone mineral density loss and also reduced the increases in glucose levels and white adipose tissue weights compared with those in the control group. Furthermore, uterine enlargement was not observed because of these beneficial effects. Our findings suggest that VA has the potential to mitigate postmenopausal symptoms in ovariectomized mice without estrogenic action.

Neuronal activity plays a key role in the development and maintenance of the central nervous system. In cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs), activity deprivation by treatment with a low concentration of KCl induces neuronal apoptosis. We found that black pepper (Piper nigrum) oleoresin significantly increased the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide signal on activity-deprived CGNs, whereas piperine, a major compound in black pepper extract, did not. Consistently, induction of cleaved caspase-3, a hallmark of apoptosis was inhibited by black pepper oleoresin upon neuronal activity deprivation. These results show that black pepper oleoresin protects CGNs from apoptosis induced by activity deprivation, and suggest that components other than piperine might contribute to this effect.
