Berberine exerts an anti-adipogenic activity that is associated with the down-regulation of
C/EBPα and PPARγ. Stimulation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) caused by inhibition of …

Berberine, one of the major constituents of Chinese herb Rhizoma coptidis, has been
demonstrated to lower blood glucose, blood lipid, and body weight in patients with type 2 …

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the effects and
associated mechanisms of arctiin, a lignan compound found in burdock, on adipogenesis in …

Exploring mechanisms responsible for brown adipose tissue's (BAT) high metabolic activity
is crucial to exploit its energy‐dissipating ability for therapeutic purposes. Basigin (Bsg), a …

Recent studies have indicated that lactate acts as a signaling molecule in various tissues.
We previously demonstrated that intake of an amino acid mixture combined with exercise …

Presence of brown adipose tissue (BAT), characterized by the expression of the
thermogenic uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), has recently been described in adult humans …

Dehydroabietic acid (DAA) is a food‐derived terpenoid with various bioactivities. Our
previous study has revealed that DAA activates peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ …

Protein modification by arginylation regulates protein stability, function and interaction. The
loss of arginylation disrupts a diverse set of fundamental cellular processes from …

Abietic acid is one of the terpenoids, which are multifunctional natural compounds. It has
been reported that abietic acid suppresses effects on inflammation. However, the …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a natural phytohormone which improves insulin sensitivity and
reduces adipose tissue inflammation when supplemented into diets of obese mice. The …
