The prevalence of obesity is increasingly widespread, resembling a global epidemic. Lifestyle changes, such as consumption of high-energy-dense diets and physical inactivity, are major contributors to obesity. Common features of this metabolic pathology involve an imbalance in lipid and glucose homeostasis including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and adipose tissue dysfunction. Moreover, the importance of the gut microbiota in the development and susceptibility to obesity has recently been highlighted. In recent years, new strategies based on the use of functional foods, in particular bioactive peptides, have been proposed to counteract obesity outcomes. In this context, the present study examines the effects of a lupin protein hydrolysate (LPH) on obesity, dyslipidemia and gut dysbiosis in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). After 12 weeks of LPH treatment, mice gained less weight and showed decreased adipose dysfunction compared to the HFD-fed group. HFD-induced dyslipidemia (increased triglycerides, cholesterol and LDL concentration) and insulin resistance were both counteracted by LPH consumption. Discriminant analysis differentially distributed LPH-treated mice compared to non-treated mice. HFD reduced gut ecological parameters, promoted the blooming of deleterious taxa and reduced the abundance of commensal members. Some of these changes were corrected in the LPH group. Finally, correlation analysis suggested that changes in this microbial population could be responsible for the improvement in obesity outcomes. In conclusion, this is the first study to show the effect of LPH on improving weight gain, adiposopathy and gut dysbiosis in the context of diet-induced obesity, pointing to the therapeutic potential of bioactive peptides in metabolic diseases.
