Perilla oil has been shown to be beneficial for ameliorating metabolic disorders, but its protective effect is still controversial. We investigated the effect of perilla oil on obesity-induced hepatic and vascular changes in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice and provided underlying mechanisms for potential therapeutic applications. Tomato and paprika extract was added to prevent the oxidation during storage of perilla oil. HFD-fed mice were orally administered palm or perilla oil for 90 days. Food intake, body and liver weight, and serum cholesterol levels were measured. Arterial and hepatic lipid accumulation was determined by histological staining. Hepatic triglyceride levels and the expression of proteins regulating lipid metabolism were analyzed. Food intake and body weight were not different between palm oil-treated and perilla oil-treated mice. Serum cholesterol level was significantly lower in perilla oil-treated mice compared with palm oil-treated mice. HFD-induced lipid accumulation was also lower in thoracic aorta and liver by perilla oil compared with palm oil. Perilla oil also decreased hepatic triglyceride level without changing the liver weight. Perilla oil treatment increased the AMP-activated protein kinase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylation and the lipolytic protein levels, whereas it decreased the lipogenic protein levels in the liver. In conclusion, perilla oil reduced serum cholesterol and arterial and hepatic lipid accumulation in HFD-fed mice. The data suggest that perilla oil improves the balance of lipogenic and lipolytic protein expression, and ameliorates obesity-induced metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases.
