The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP) are one of the major bioactive components with many beneficial properties. In the present study we aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of GLP on lipid metabolism in human (HPA-v) and murine adipocytes (3T3-L1). Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. Lipid accumulation in mature adipocytes were evaluated by ORO staining and quantified using the triglyceride (TG) assay. Lipolysis was investigated by measuring the free glycerol released in the cell culture medium after treatments. The mRNA and protein levels of key genes regulating lipid metabolism were determined by qRT-PCR and western blotting in HPA-v cells. ORO staining showed that GLP suppressed lipid accumulation similarly in both HPA-v and 3T3-L1 cells. TG assay confirmed that GLP significantly inhibited cell differentiation (p < 0.001). The lipolysis assay showed that GLP enhanced triglyceride hydrolysis in both adipocytes (p < 0.05). GLP stimulated AMPK phosphorylation, which promoted the phosphorylation of ACC1, its downstream target. qRT-PCR and western blotting showed that the genes encoding transcription factors for adipocyte differentiation (PPARγ, C/EBPα, and SREBPlc) and certain adipogenic genes (ACC1, PLIN1, and FASN) were downregulated (p < 0.05). The lipolytic gene HSL was upregulated and highly phosphorylated (activated) at mRNA and protein levels, respectively, upon GLP treatment. These results suggested that GLP possessed beneficial antiadipogenic effects and can potentially be developed into antiobesity products.
