Selective agonists of β3-adrenergic receptors (Adrb3) exhibit potent anti-diabetes properties
in rodent models when given chronically, yet the mechanisms involved are poorly …

Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic diseases related to the overexpansion of adipose
tissue during obesity, leading to metabolic dysfunction and ectopic lipids. Previous studies …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone regulating fundamental physiological functions in
plants, such as response to abiotic stress. Recently, ABA was shown to be produced and …

It is known that a number of transcription factors are key regulators in the complex process of
adipocyte differentiation including peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and …

Promoting brown adipose tissue (BAT) formation and function reduces obesity. Ellagic Acid
(EA), located abundantly in plant extracts and fruits, has been shown to modulate formation …

Adipose tissue contains one of the largest reservoirs of cholesterol in the body. Adipocyte
dysfunction in obesity is associated with intracellular cholesterol accumulation, and …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant stress hormone recently identified as an endogenous pro-
inflammatory cytokine in human granulocytes. Because paracrine signaling between …

Beige adipocytes emerge postnatally within the white adipose tissue in response to certain
environmental cues, such as chronic cold exposure. Because of its highly recruitable nature …

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of black adzuki bean (BAB) extract on
adipocytes, and to elucidate the cellular mechanisms. In order to examine the proliferation of …

Recently, it was reported that naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoids such as ursolic
acid have anti-adiposity property. We studied if acetyl-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), an …
