Abstract
2
Hesperidin (HES) is a flavanone glycoside found in citrus peel that contributes to its
3
bitter taste. It has low water solubility and poor oral bioavailability. To improve its solubility
4
and bioavailability, α-monoglucosyl HES (αGH) has been synthesized from HES by
5
transglucosylation using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase. Several reports indicate that αGH
6
significantly decreases body fat, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.
7
We hypothesized that the anti-obesity effects of αGH occur through the induced formation of
8
brown-like adipocytes. The present study verified that dietary αGH induces brown-like
9
adipocytes to form in mouse inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), thereby significantly
10
decreasing the weight of WAT. Furthermore, dietary αGH significantly induced
11
thermogenesis in iWAT. Dietary αGH also significantly suppressed high-fat-diet-induced
12
WAT accumulation in mice, which may be mediated by brown-like adipocyte formation.
13
These results indicate that dietary αGH induces increased energy expenditure by stimulating
14
the formation of brown-like adipocytes.

Introduction
17
Hesperidin (HES; Figure S1), a flavanone glycoside found in citrus peel, is
18
composed of the flavone hesperetin and the disaccharide rutinose, has been reported to have
19
several biological functions. For example, HES showed hypoglycemic effects in mice and
20
rats1,2, cardioprotective and hypolipidemic effects in rats3, and anti-hypertensive and
21
anti-inflammatory effects in patients with type 2 diabetes4. Several reports have shown that
22
HES has low solubility in water and poor oral bioavailability5,6. Accordingly, synthetic
23
α-monoglucosyl HES (αGH, Figure S1), which has higher water solubility and bioavailability,
24
can be obtained from HES via transglucosylation with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase7. At
25
present, αGH is an approved food additive in Japan8. The solubility of αGH is about 10,000
26
times greater than that of HES, and its bioavailability (determined as the area under the
27
concentration–time curve for hesperetin glucuronide in serum after αGH administration to
28
rats) is about 3.7-fold higher than that of HES9.
29
The improved water solubility and bioavailability has enabled applications in food
30
processing and the exploration of novel biological functions. For example, the
31
supplementation of αGH in canned mandarin syrup or orange juice significantly prevented
32
turbidity10. Additionally, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, parallel group study
33
in humans showed that the administration of αGH (1 g/day, 12 weeks) significantly decreased
34
the accumulation of body fat11. Another study reported that the administration of αGH (500
35
mg/day) in combination with caffeine (50 or 75 mg/day) for 12 weeks significantly
36
suppressed body fat accumulation in human subjects12. The specific molecular mechanisms
37
underlying these biological effects however remain unclear.
38
Recent research has shown that brown-like adipocytes, also called “brite” or “beige”
39
cells, are "inducible" brown adipocytes that share a range of morphological and biochemical
40
characteristics with classical brown adipocytes13 and occur within white adipose tissue
41
(WAT)14. Brown-like adipocytes release excess energy through thermogenic uncoupling 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
42
protein 1 (UCP1), a protein that shifts energy from ATP production to heat production by
43
causing leakage of protons in mitochondria and uncoupling electron transport from ATP
44
production15,16. Accordingly, the induction of brown-like adipocytes has potential as a
45
strategy for treating obesity and associated disorders, and many studies have investigated
46
dietary factors associated with the development of brown-like adipocytes17. We previously
47
showed that a highly dispersible curcumin formulation with good bioavailability clearly
48
induced brown-like adipocyte formation in mouse inguinal WAT (iWAT)18. However, native
49
curcumin, which has low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability, did not induce
50
brown-like adipocyte formation18. Thus, we hypothesized that αGH, but not HES, exerts
51
anti-obesity effects by inducing brown-like adipocyte formation.
52
Here, we demonstrated that dietary αGH, but not HES, can induce brown-like
53
adipocyte formation within mouse iWAT and can significantly decrease WAT weight. In
54
addition, dietary αGH significantly induced thermogenesis in iWAT. Dietary αGH also
55
significantly suppressed the accumulation of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced WAT in mice,
56
likely mediated by brown-like adipocyte formation.

Chemicals. Commercially available αGH powder (Lot No.TA2517400) and HES
60
(Lot No.HE160401, purity > 92%) were obtained from Toyo Sugar Refining Co., Ltd.
61
(Tokyo, Japan). The αGH powder consisted of 82% αGH, 10% HES, and 8% undisclosed
62
components. Transglycosylation to HES and αGH purification were performed according to a
63
previous study7. Purity was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography8. Rabbit
64
polyclonal -actin (#4967), cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV (COXIV, #4844), total
65
AMP-activated protein kinase α (t-AMPKα, #2532), and phospho-AMPKα (p-AMPKα,
66
#2531) antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology Japan, K. K. (Tokyo, 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Animal experiments. The design and execution of all experiments involving animals
70
was approved by the Animal Experiment Committee of Chubu University and conducted
71
according to their guidelines (Permission Nos. 3010024, 2910006, and 2810005).
72
Effect of dietary αGH on brown-like adipocyte and adipose tissue weight formation
73
in mice. Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were obtained from Japan SLC (Hamamatsu,
74
Japan) and maintained in an animal room under controlled conditions (23 ± 3°C; 12-h
75
light:dark cycle, illuminated 08:00–20:00) with free access to water and a standard laboratory
76
diet (CE-2, CLEA Japan Inc., Tokyo, Japan)18-20. After 1 week, mice were assigned to three
77
different groups: the control diet group (AIN-93G, n = 8) 21, the 0.5 αGH group (control diet
78
supplemented with αGH powder; 5 g of αGH powder/kg diet, i.e., 4.1 g of αGH/kg diet, n =
79
8), or the 1.0 αGH group (control diet supplemented with αGH powder; 10 g of αGH
80
powder/kg diet, i.e., 8.2 g of αGH/kg diet, n = 8) for 4 weeks. A summary of the diet
81
compositions is provided in Table S1. Every 2 days, both the control and αGH diets were
82
replaced. The αGH dose utilized in the present study was based on a preliminary experiment
83
that confirmed the level of αGH supplementation had no effect on food intake. After 4 weeks
84
of feeding, blood samples were collected from mice following -anesthesia with isoflurane
85
with a syringe containing 1 mM EDTA disodium salt, after which plasma was isolated via
86
centrifugation. At this time, iWAT, epididymal WAT (eWAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT),
87
skeletal muscles, and livers were removed18-20. As per our previous study18,19, small adipose
88
tissues samples were fixed for subsequent hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining and
89
immunostaining for UCP1. The staining protocols employed were those used in our previous
90
studies18,19. Further details are available in the Supporting Information. Tissue aliquots were
91
homogenized and used for immunoblotting analysis of UCP1, COXIV, and β-actin proteins in 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
92
BAT and iWAT samples as well as t-AMPKα and p-AMPKα (Thr172) proteins in the liver
93
and skeletal muscle samples. Pierce Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific,
94
Yokohama, Japan) was used to visualize immunoreactivity18-20,22.
95
Effect of dietary HES on brown-like adipocyte formation in mice. Other 4-week-old
96
male C57BL/6J mice were also divided into two groups, control (n = 8) or HES groups (8.1 g
97
HES/kg control diet; n = 8), and received their respective experimental diets for 4 weeks. Diet
98
compositions are summarized in Table S2. Adipose tissue and blood samples were collected
99
as described above. The supplementary level of HES added to the diet was adjusted such that
100
the molar amount of HES was the same in the HES and 1.0 αGH diets.
101
Measurement of tissue temperature after αGH administration in mice. As described
102
in the above section, other mice were divided into two groups, namely, the control or 1.0 αGH
103
groups (n = 10 per group), and received the respective experimental diets for 4 weeks. On day
104
28 (4 weeks), mice were deprived of food for 1 h, from 08:00 to 09:00, to avoid the effect of
105
diet-induced thermogenesis and anesthetized with isoflurane. Mice were then placed on a
106
precision heat-controlled pad (fixed at 37.0°C; SN-700H, Shinano Manufacturing. Co., Ltd.,
107
Tokyo, Japan), and a needle-type temperature probe (MT-23/3 and 23/5, Physitemp
108
Instruments, Inc., Clifton, NJ) or rectal temperature probe (RET-3, Physitemp Instruments,
109
Inc.) connected to a digital microprobe thermometer (BAT-12R, Physitemp Instruments, Inc.)
110
was inserted into iWAT, BAT, or the rectum. We confirmed that the probe was inserted into
111
iWAT after measuring iWAT temperature in all mice by dissection. This analysis confirmed
112
that the probe had been correctly inserted into iWAT and not muscle. The rectal temperature
113
was maintained at [37.0°C for 10 min, and then mice received oral administration of vehicle
114
(saline; control) or αGH (100 mg/kg body weight) by intragastric intubation. BAT, iWAT,
115
and rectal temperatures were recorded at 1-min intervals. During the measurements, mice
116
were covered with laboratory paper towels to prevent heat loss. 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Effect of dietary αGH on brown-like adipocyte formation and adipose tissue weight
118
in mice fed an HFD. Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to two groups and fed an
119
HFD based on AIN-93G containing 30% (w/w) lard (HFD group, n = 10) or an HFD
120
supplemented with 1.0% αGH (HFD + αGH group, n = 10) for 13 weeks. Experimental diet
121
compositions are summarized in Table S3. After 13 weeks of feeding, adipose tissue, skeletal
122
muscle, and liver were dissected. As described above, small iWAT and BAT samples were
123
then fixed and used for H&E staining and immunostaining. As described in our previous
124
studies16,18,19,21, tissue aliquots were homogenized and used for immunoblotting analysis of
125
COXIV, UCP1, and β-actin proteins in BAT and iWAT samples, while skeletal muscle and
126
liver samples were analyzed for t-AMPKα and p-AMPKα (Thr172) proteins.
127
Statistical analyses. Data were assessed using two-way analysis of variance
128
(ANOVA) and a subsequent Bonferroni test to compare the differences in temperature
129
changes at each time point (Figure 5). The differences among group means were analyzed by
130
Tukey–Kramer or Student’s t-tests. All data are expressed as means ± standard error of the
131
mean (SEM) values, with a threshold of P < 0.05 applied to determine statistical significance.

Results
134
αGH, but not HES, induced brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT and suppressed
135
body fat accumulation. We first investigated whether αGH induced brown-like adipocyte
136
formation and suppressed body fat accumulation in mice. Overall weight gain as well as
137
eWAT and iWAT weights significantly decreased in the 1.0α GH group relative to the control
138
(Table 1). However, BAT weights and total food intake over the 4 weeks did not differ among
139
the groups (Table 1). UCP1 immunostaining and H&E staining of iWAT from both the 0.5α
140
GH and 1.0 αGH groups showed clear UCP1-immunopositive cells and multilocular
141
adipocytes compared with the control group (Figure 1A). Conversely, eWAT samples from 7 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
142
the αGH groups lacked both multilocular H&E-stained adipocytes and positive UCP1
143
immunostaining (Figure 1B). H&E-stained and UCP1-immunostained BAT samples showed
144
no difference among the three groups (Figure 1C).
145
To confirm the results of immunohistochemical analysis shown in Figure 1, COXIV
146
and UCP1 protein levels in both BAT and iWAT samples were examined. Expression levels
147
of UCP1 and COXIV proteins were significantly increased in iWAT samples from mice fed
148
1.0 αGH compared with the control (Figure 2A). UCP1 and COXIV levels in BAT samples
149
showed no differences among the three groups (Figure 2B).
150
The serine/threonine kinase AMPK is expressed in most eukaryotic cells; its
151
activation induces glucose utilization in skeletal muscle and enhances fatty acid oxidation in
152
the liver23. These metabolic changes result in decreased body fat accumulation22. We also
153
examined another mechanism of αGH-induced reduction of WAT accumulation, the
154
activation of AMPK in liver and skeletal muscle tissues. Dietary αGH did not significantly
155
affect p-AMPKα or t-AMPKα protein levels or the p-AMPKα:t-AMPKα ratio in these tissues
156
(Figure S2).
157
Next, we examined whether HES induced brown-like adipocyte formation at the
158
same dose (1.0 αGH) in mice. Food intake, overall weight gain, and adipose tissue weight
159
(iWAT, eWAT, and BAT) did not differ between the HES and control groups (Table S4).
160
H&E staining and UCP1 immunostaining of eWAT and iWAT samples from the HES group
161
did not show a significant amount of multilocular adipocytes or UCP1-immunopositive cells
162
(Figure 3A and B). In addition, UCP1-immunostained and H&E-stained BAT did not differ
163
between these groups (Figure 3C). The expression of both COXIV and UCP1 proteins in
164
BAT and iWAT samples from the HES and control groups did not differ (Figure 4A and B).
165
αGH significantly induced thermogenesis in iWAT. As αGH was observed to induce
166
brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT samples, we investigated whether αGH induces the 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 9 of 28
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
167
elevation of core body or tissue temperature. To examine thermogenesis, αGH was
168
administered to mice for 4 weeks, and rectal, BAT, and iWAT temperatures were measured.
169
Rectal and BAT temperatures of the groups were similar throughout the measurement period
170
(Figure 5A and B). In contrast, changes in iWAT temperature seen in the αGH group were
171
significantly elevated from 10 to 60 min compared with the control group after administration
172
of vehicle or αGH (Figure 5C).
173
Dietary αGH decreased adipose tissue weight in HFD-fed mice. Dietary αGH
174
significantly induced the brown-like adipocytes formation, enhanced thermogenesis in iWAT,
175
and suppressed the weight of WAT. We examined the overall effect of dietary αGH on
176
obesity in HFC-fed mice. Overall weight gain and food intake throughout the experimental
177
period was relatively consistent between the groups (Table 2). The weights of eWAT and
178
iWAT from the HFD + αGH groups were significantly decreased relative to those of the HFD
179
group (Table 2). Compared with the control, UCP1-immunopositive cells were detected in
180
iWAT samples from the HFD + αGH group, but not in eWAT samples (Figure 6A and B). In
181
addition, HFD-induced hypertrophy of adipocytes in iWAT and eWAT was suppressed in the
182
HFD + αGH group (Figure 6A and B). UCP1-immunostained and H&E-stained BAT samples
183
from the groups were relatively similar (Figure 6C). Average adipocyte areas of iWAT and
184
eWAT samples from the HFD + αGH group were also significantly smaller than those of the
185
control group (Figure S3). UCP1 and COXIV protein levels in iWAT samples from the HFD
186
+ αGH group were significantly increased relative to those of the HFD group (Figure 7A).
187
However, levels of expression for both proteins did not differ between BAT samples from the
188
groups (Figure 7B).
189
Furthermore, we examined AMPK activation in liver and skeletal muscle tissues.
190
Dietary αGH had no significant effect on the p-AMPKα or t-AMPKα protein levels or the
191
p-AMPKα:t-AMPKα ratio (Figure S4). 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Discussion
194
HES is found in citrus peel and is the ingredient that confers the characteristic bitter
195
taste. It is thought to be a functional food-derived factor with various health benefits. Several
196
reports show that HES has biological functions1-4; however, its low water solubility and oral
197
bioavailability impede its use. These deficiencies have delayed research into the biological
198
functions of HES and complicated its use in both food additives and dietary supplements. To
199
address these problems, highly water soluble and bioavailable αGH has been developed7. This
200
has enabled studies of novel biological functions and potential applications as dietary
201
supplements. Some reports show that αGH intake leads to significant suppression of body fat
202
accumulation11,12, but the mechanism is not fully understood. These reports suggest that
203
water-soluble and bioavailable αGH, but not HES, can induce brown-like adipocyte formation
204
and subsequent UCP1-related thermogenesis in WAT, resulting in reduced accumulation of
205
body fat. In addition, we previously demonstrated that highly dispersible and bioavailable
206
curcumin, but not an equivalent native curcumin dose, significantly induces brown-like
207
adipocyte formation in iWAT18.
208
Based on this background, we first demonstrated that αGH taken for 4 weeks
209
significantly induced brown-like adipocyte formation in mouse iWAT and reduced overall
210
weight gain as well as WAT weight without significant changes in food intake compared with
211
the control. This effect, however, was not induced by administering an equivalent HES dose.
212
These results demonstrate that αGH, but not HES, can significantly induce of brown-like
213
adipocyte formation in mouse iWAT.
214
Induction of brown-like adipocyte formation can enhance thermogenesis and
215
contribute to suppressed body fat accumulation. In this study, BAT and rectal temperatures
216
were similar across groups. In contrast, changes in iWAT temperature in the αGH group were 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 10 of 28
Page 11 of 28
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
217
significantly elevated over 4 weeks compared with the control group. These data indicate that
218
αGH specifically induced thermogenesis in iWAT, and this was dependent on the induction of
219
UCP1 expression.
220
AMPK activation induces glucose utilization within skeletal muscle tissue and
221
enhances fatty acid oxidation in liver tissue, and these metabolic changes result in decreased
222
accumulation of body fat23. However, dietary αGH did not significantly affect the activation
223
of AMPK in skeletal muscle or liver. These findings suggest that αGH induces brown-like
224
adipocyte formation in iWAT, and this effect may have contributed to the significant
225
suppression of body fat. In addition, HFD-induced WAT accumulation was both significantly
226
suppressed by αGH intake and accompanied by significant induction of UCP1 and COXIV
227
protein in iWAT, but not activation of AMPK in skeletal muscle or liver tissues. These results
228
are consistent with αGH-induced brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT being associated
229
with the observed suppression of WAT accumulation. The molecular mechanism may be
230
associated with αGH-induced reduction of WAT gain. However, a recent report showed that
231
there are heat-producing brown-like adipocytes that are independent of UCP1 expression in
232
eWAT24. The significant reduction of WAT weight by dietary αGH may also be associated
233
with UCP1-independent energy expenditure.
234
This study has raised further questions, and some limitations need to be addressed.
235
First, no significant differences were observed UCP1 expression and tissue temperature
236
changes in BAT between the control and αGH groups. While the exact reason remains
237
unclear, BAT is both more sensitive and dominant relative to WAT with respect to
238
β3-adrenergic signaling activation25,26. At the very minimum, the induction of brown-like
239
adipocyte formation by αGH is independent of the 3-adrenergic signaling pathway. Second,
240
our findings failed to explain how αGH induced brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT.
241
One

molecular
mechanism
is
that

proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist with PRD1-BF-1-RIZ1 homologous
243
domain-containing protein-16 protein stabilization18,27. The absorbed αGH was metabolized,
244
and the main metabolite was found to be hesperetin, (the aglycone of αGH) glucuronide in
245
serum after a single oral administration of αGH in rats8. Another report showed that a high
246
dose (250 μM) of hesperetin glucuronide acts as a PPARγ agonist in vitro28. However, it is
247
unlikely that a high dose of hesperetin glucuronide is distributed in iWAT, incorporated into
248
the cells, and then binds with PPARγ in vivo. Third, we did not demonstrate whether the
249
intact form, metabolites, or degradation products of αGH have the most bioactivity in vivo, so
250
it is necessary to investigate which products in particular contribute to induction of
251
brown-like adipocyte formation. Furthermore, identifying the primary molecular target or
252
trigger of αGH -induced brown-like adipocyte formation, intact form, metabolites, or
253
degradation products, may reveal the underlying biochemical mechanism.
254
In conclusion, highly water-soluble and bioavailable αGH, but not HES, significantly
255
induced brown-like adipocyte formation and enhanced thermogenesis in iWAT, which may
256
contribute to suppressed body fat accumulation. These results suggest that αGH increases
257
energy expended through brown-like adipocyte formation. Furthermore, our study showed
258
that αGH has significant in vivo bioactivity as a functional food factor.
