| Result: | Decreased blood triglyceride, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels of DIO mice after treatment for 3 week. Significantly decreased the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level and promoted cholesterol excretion after treatment for 45 days. Increased the expression of Srebp1c, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1), fatty acid synthetase (Fasn), Diac ylgycerol Acyltransferase 2 (Dgat2), 3 Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase (Hmgcr) and sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (Srebp2). Improved insulin sensitivity of
DIO mice. Reduced mRNA levels of interleukin 1 beta (Il-1β), Il5, Il6, cluster of differentiation 36 (Cd36), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and mouse EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1 (F4/80). |
