Objective: To investigate activation mechanism of AMPK[adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase] by ligustroflavone
and explore effect of ligustroflavone on assembly of adiponectin. Method: 293T cells were treated with ligustroflavone.AMPK phosphorylation and evel of cellular AMP and ATP were examined by western blotting and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)
respectively.3T3-L1 adipocyte was treated by ligustroflavone and its effect on assembly of adiponectin was detected. Result: Ligustroflavone can activate AMPK and increase ratio of AMP/ATP in 293T cells.Ligustroflavone also can promote ssembly of adiponectin multimers. Conclusion: Ligustroflavone activates AMPK by increasing ratio of AMP/ATP and promotes adiponectin multimerization by activating AMPK.
