However, effective strategies for combating high-fat diet (HFD) induced obesity, fatty liver and metabolic disorder are still limited, and outcomes remain poor. In the present study, we evaluated the combined actions of dietary capsaicin and antibiotics on HFD-induced physiological abnormalities in mice. C57BL/6 male mice were fed with HFD (60% calories from fat) for 17 weeks, and the resultant pathophysiological effects were examined. Antibiotic treatment markedly attenuated gut inflammation and leakiness induced by HFD, whereas capsaicin showed limited effects on the gut. However, dietary capsaicin significantly increased PPAR-α expression in adipose tissue, while antibiotics had no such effect. Animals treated with a combination of capsaicin and antibiotics had the smallest body weight gain and fat pad index, as well as the lowest hepatic fat accumulation. Combination treatment also maximally improved insulin responsiveness, as indicated by insulin tolerance tests. These results suggest the co-treatment of capsaicin and antibiotics, a novel combination strategy, would play synergistically to attenuate the HFD-induced obesity, fatty liver and metabolic disorder.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.332204510175204,"endowment":3.332204510175204,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"28445156","pmcid":"PMC5503523","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2605173654","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":1.0139,"citation_percentile":0.74398671,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2017,"count":1},{"year":2018,"count":2},{"year":2019,"count":4},{"year":2020,"count":3},{"year":2021,"count":6},{"year":2022,"count":3},{"year":2023,"count":2},{"year":2024,"count":3},{"year":2025,"count":2},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"http://www.oncotarget.com/index.php?journal=oncotarget&page=article&op=download&path%5B%5D=16975&path%5B%5D=54314","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"http://www.oncotarget.com/index.php?journal=oncotarget&page=article&op=download&path%5B%5D=16975&path%5B%5D=54314","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.16975","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28445156","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/5503523","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC5503523","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC5503523?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Ginseng Biological Effects and Applications","Ion Channels and Receptors","Biochemical Analysis and Sensing Techniques","Adipose Tissue","Animals","Anti-Bacterial Agents","Capsaicin","Diet, High-Fat","Drug Synergism","Intestines","Male","Mice","Mice, Inbred C57BL","Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease"],"mesh_terms":["Adipose Tissue","Animals","Anti-Bacterial Agents","Capsaicin","Drug Synergism","Intestines","Male","Mice, Inbred C57BL","Mice","Diet, High-Fat","Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease"],"keywords":["Fatty liver","Capsaicin","Medicine","Internal medicine","Antibiotics","Adipose tissue","Endocrinology","Gut flora","Pathophysiology","Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease","Liver disease","Pharmacology","Disease","Immunology","Biology","Biochemistry","Receptor","high fat diet","Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease","Pathology Section"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-06T18:46:05.981406Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
