Development of a Novel Anti-Obesity Compound with Inhibiting Properties on the Lipid Accumulation in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
Background: Obesity as a developing global challenge can be characterized by increase in adipocyte number and size arising from adipogenesis. Control of adipogenesis, as a potential strategy, can prevent and manage obesity. So far, the effectiveness of herbal medicine and active ingredients therapies for obesity and metabolic syndrome treatment has been investigated. In this study, a novel comb...
متن کاملMolecular regulation of GLUT-4 targeting in 3T3-L1 adipocytes
Insulin stimulates glucose transport in muscle and adipose tissue by triggering the movement of the glucose transporter GLUT-4 from an intracellular compartment to the cell surface. Fundamental to this process is the intracellular sequestration of GLUT-4 in nonstimulated cells. Two distinct targeting motifs in the amino and carboxy termini of GLUT-4 have been previously identified by expressing...
متن کاملSubstance P decreases fat storage and increases adipocytokine production in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
Obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance are closely linked. Substance P (SP), via its neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), mediates inflammatory and, possibly, neuroendocrine processes. We examined SP effects on lipid storage and cytokine production in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and adipose tissues. 3T3-L1 adipocytes and preadipocytes express NK1R, and 8 days of SP supplementation during differentiation ...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 is a negative regulator of visfatin gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
Visfatin is a novel adipocytokine exerting insulin-mimetic effects in various insulin-sensitive tissues such as liver, muscle, and fat. In contrast, interleukin (IL)-6 is a proinflammatory adipose-secreted factor that induces insulin resistance and plasma concentrations that correlate with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, the impact of IL-6 on visfatin gene exp...
متن کاملRegulated renin release from 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
Whereas adipose tissue possesses a local renin-angiotensin system, the synthesis and regulated release of renin has not been addressed. To that end, we utilized differentiating 3T3-L1 cells and analyzed renin expression and secretion. Renin mRNA expression and protein enzymatic activity were not detectable in preadipocytes. However, upon differentiation, renin mRNA and both intracellular and ex...
