秀丽隐杆线虫作为一种理想的模式生物,已被越来越多地应用于食品营养功能的评价.与细胞、小鼠等其他模型比较,线虫具有体积小、寿命短、与人类基因同源性高、研究结果易于观察且能够在实验室大批量培养等优点.文章综述了秀丽隐杆线虫在抗肥胖、抗氧化、抗衰老的食品营养功能评价中的研究方法、潜在机理及研究进展,并展望了秀丽隐杆线虫在食品抗肥胖、抗氧化、抗衰老中的研究前景.
As an ideal model organism,Caenorhabditis elegans has been increasingly used in the evaluation of the nutritional function of food.Compared with other models such as cells and mice,C.elegans have the advantages of small size,short lifespan,high genetic homology with humans,easy observation of research results,and large batch culture in the laboratory.Therefore,the article summarizes the research methods,potential mechanisms and research progress of C.elegans in food nutritional function such as anti-obesity,antioxidant and anti-aging.In order to provide a reference for new methods in the evaluation of food nutrition function.
