The team of Professor Lu Muwen from the School of Food Science of South China Agricultural University has made new progress in the research of capsaicin

Recently, Professor Lu Muwen of our school has made new progress in the research of capsaicin on glucose homeostasis regulation and its potential mechanism, and capsaicin can regulate oleic acid-induced circadian clock disturbance in HepG2 cells, and published two articles in international high-level journals.

Published a paper entitled "Modulating Effects of Capsaicin on Glucose Homeostasis and the Underlying Mechanism" in "Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition" with an impact factor of 11.

This study reviewed the regulatory effects of capsaicin on glucose homeostasis in cell models, animal models and human experiments from TRPV1-dependent and TRPV1-independent pathways, and evaluated the relevant molecular mechanisms of its regulatory effects

(Mechanisms by which capsaicin regulates glucose homeostasis in different cellular models)

Published a cover article entitled "Capsaicin Attenuates Oleic Acid-Induced Lipid Accumulation via the Regulation of Circadian Clock Genes in HepG2 Cells" in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, with an impact factor of 5.

Phytochemicals can regulate metabolic disorders through circadian rhythm-related mechanisms.

This study evaluated the regulatory effect of CAP on oleic acid (OA)-induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells from the perspective of circadian clock gene expression

CAP can alleviate circadian rhythm misalignment and inhibit OA-induced ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction in HepG2 cells

The corresponding authors of the two papers are Associate Professor Lu Muwen
