PPARα; C/EBPα[1] |
In Vitro | Fucosterol (0-50 μM; 7 days) suppresses the expression of PPARα and C/EBPα when compared to fully differentiated control adipocytes[1].Fucosterol shows cytotoxicity against T47D and HT29 cell lines with IC50 values of 27.94 and 70.41 μg/ml, respectively[3]. Fucosterol decreases cell HEK293, MCF-7, and SiHa cells proliferation with IC50 values of 185.4, 43.3, and 34.0 µg/ml, respectively[4]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: 3T3-L1 adipocytes Concentration: 0 μM; 25 μM; 50 μM Incubation Time: 7 days Result: Inhibited PPARα and C/EBPα expression. |
In Vivo | Fucosterol (orally adminstratin; 30mg/kg) causes a significant decrease in serum glucose concentrations, and exhibits an inhibition of sorbitol accumulations in the lenses[2]. |
