Abstract: | Sclareol is a bioactive hydrophobic diterpene in the essential oil isolated from Salvia sclarea (Fam. Lamiaceae). Sclareol has been widely studied due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Aims: the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of Sclareol in different formulations (solid lipid nanoparticle and free) on the metabolic profile of obese mice. Main methods: swiss male mice were randomly divided into two groups: standard diet (STD) and high-fat diet (HFD). After obesity induction, each group was divided into three treatment groups: free Sclareol (Sc), Sclareol-loaded lipid nanoparticle (L-Sc) and blank lipid nanoparticle (L). Treatments were performed every day during 30 days. Key findings: L-Sc improves obese mice metabolic profile by decreasing adiposity, ameliorating insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and increasing the HDL plasma levels. In addition, L-Sc decreased the expression of NF-KB, MCP-1 and SERBP-1. Significance: the use of sclareol together with lipid nanocarriers may be promising for the treatment of metabolic disorders by reducing adipose tissue. |
