Abstract
Anti-adipogenic and antidiabetic activities of Allium hookeri root water extracts (ARW) were assessed. Oil Red O staining showed that treatment with ARW caused a dose-dependent reduction in lipid accumulation. ARW was also involved in adipocyte lipolysis via LPL activity, and in the concentration of glycerol in a culture medium. On the basis of the concentration of adipokines following ARW treatment, ARW appeared to inhibit expression of PPAR-γ, to reduce concentrations of leptin and resistin, to increase the concentration of adiponectin, and to inhibit lipid accumulation. ARW modulated adipokine expression associated with insulin resistance and sensitivity. 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with ARW showed increased GLUT-4 expression with increased glucose uptake into adipocytes. ARW showed effectiveness for improvement of diabetic conditions.Entities:
