Abstract
The accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) from food in the body disrupts normal physiological insulin activity and causes insulin resistance. This study compared the effects of ten types of polyphenols on AGEs production in both chemical and food models. It also investigated the impact of polyphenols on AGEs-induced insulin resistance in HepG2 cell models. Results showed that luteolin had the strongest inhibitory effect on fluorescent AGEs in the three chemical models. Rutin exhibited the most potent capacity to inhibit AGEs in biscuit models. Moreover, rutin alleviated the glucose metabolism disorders induced by representative AGEs (methylglyoxal-modified bovine serum albumin, MGO-BSA) in HepG2 cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that rutin could inhibit the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) and the activity of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), while activating the phosphorylation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) to alleviate the MGO-BSA-induced insulin resistance in HepG2 cells.
