摘　　要：Obesity,characterized by the dysregulation of energy balance in adipose tissue and other metabolic organs,is frequently accompanied by chronic low-grade inflammation.As long-acting insulin sensitizers,the organically-derivatized polyoxovanadates(POVs),can extend the dosing interval of antidiabetic drugs from hourly to almost daily.In this work,the protective activity of POVs is investigated by an eight-week in vivo experiment,in which a small amount of POVs was administrated orally to a mouse model of dietinduced obesity every day.The present study shows that administration of POVs significantly decreases the body weight of mice,reduces adipose tissue accumulation,and simultaneously reduces adipose tissue inflammation.In addition,the anti-obesogenic population of i NKT cells is protected potentially by POVs,which subsequently alleviates visceral adipose tissue inflammation in high-fat-diet(HFD)-fed mice against diet-induced obesity.By contrast,the change in body weight after POV treatment is the result of a substantial reduction in fat mass,with no obvious effects on lean body mass.These findings demonstrate that supplementary of POVs would be an effective way to combat obesity and metabolic disorders while lowering metabolic inflammation.
