Krill Powder Improves Liver Lipid Metabolism in Mice

Aker BioMarine has announced a publication on its first preclinical study of krill powder and the effect of krill powder supplementation on the disturbed lipid metabolism and inflammation in a mouse model of chronic inflammation in the journal Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental. Researchers from University of Bergen in Norway performed a study where they investigated the effect of feeding mice a high-fat diet with or without krill powder for 6 weeks. Chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to obesity and the metabolic syndrome by unfavorably affecting lipid metabolism. The study results showed that feeding krill powder in addition to a high fat diet to mice with persistent inflammation increased degradation of fatty acids, reduced the generation of fat, and lowered the expression of genes involved in cholesterol and glucose metabolism that resulted in improved blood and liver lipid levels. Moreover, inflammatory markers in the liver were significantly reduced.
