For proper cholesterol metabolism, normal expression and function of scavenger
receptor class B type I (SR-BI), a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, is
required. Among the factors that regulate overall cholesterol homeostasis and HDL
metabolism, the nuclear farnesoid X receptor plays an important role.
Guggulsterone, a bioactive compound present in the natural product gugulipid, is
an antagonist of this receptor. This natural product is widely used globally as a
natural lipid-lowering agent, although its anti-atherogenic cardiovascular
benefit in animal models or humans is unknown. The aim of this study was to
determine the effects of gugulipid on cholesterol homeostasis and development of
mild and severe atherosclerosis in male mice. For this purpose, we evaluated the
impact of gugulipid treatment on liver histology, plasma lipoprotein cholesterol,
endothelial function, and development of atherosclerosis and/or ischemic heart
disease in wild-type mice; apolipoprotein E knockout mice, a model of
atherosclerosis without ischemic complications; and SR-B1 knockout and
atherogenic-diet-fed apolipoprotein E hypomorphic (SR-BI KO/ApoER61h/h) mice, a
model of lethal ischemic heart disease due to severe atherosclerosis. Gugulipid
administration was associated with histological abnormalities in liver, increased
alanine aminotransferase levels, lower hepatic SR-BI content,
hypercholesterolemia due to increased HDL cholesterol levels, endothelial
dysfunction, enhanced atherosclerosis, and accelerated death in animals with
severe ischemic heart disease. In conclusion, our data show important adverse
effects of gugulipid intake on HDL metabolism and atherosclerosis in male mice,
suggesting potential and unknown deleterious effects on cardiovascular health in
humans. In addition, these findings reemphasize the need for rigorous preclinical
and clinical studies to provide guidance on the consumption of natural products
and regulation of their use in the general population.
