Supplemental Information DEPTOR Cell-Autonomously Promotes Adipogenesis, and Its Expression Is Associated with Obesity

FAS and ACC dysfunction in visceral Adipose Tissue

Background and Aim: A great interest for determining the particular mechanisms underlying lipogenesis and adipogenesis has been raised among researchers in order to fight obesity. We aimed to investigate the gene expression of FAS and its role in regulation of lipogenesis and adipogenesis in visceral adipose tissues from obese and normal-weight subjects. materials and Methods: A total of.parti...

Fifty Percent Ethanolic Extract of Momordica charantia Inhibits Adipogenesis and Promotes Adipolysis in 3T3-L1 Pre-Adipocyte Cells

Background: Natural products have gained importance recently for the treatment of obesity and its complications, partly because of the side effects of modern drugs.Hence, we aimed to study and compare the effect of varying concentrations of Momordicacharantiaon adipogenesis and adipolysis using 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte cell lines. Methods: 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were procured from the National Ce...

The Baf60c/Deptor Pathway Links Skeletal Muscle Inflammation to Glucose Homeostasis in Obesity

Skeletal muscle insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes is associated with a shift from oxidative to glycolytic metabolism in myofibers. However, whether this metabolic switch is detrimental or adaptive for metabolic homeostasis has not been resolved. We recently demonstrated that the Baf60c/Deptor pathway promotes glycolytic metabolism in the muscle and protects mice from diet-induced insulin re...

Ginsenoside Rg5: Rk1 Exerts an Anti-obesity Effect on 3T3-L1 Cell Line by the Downregulation of PPARγ and CEBPα

Background: Obesity, a global health problem and a chronic disease, is associated with increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and coronary heart diseases. A wide variety of natural remedies have been explored for their obesity treatment potential. Objective: The anti-adipogenic effect of ginsenoside Rg5:Rk1 (Rg5:Rk1) on 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes was investigated. Materials and ...
