Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of apigenin on fat metabolism disorder in Obese mice. Method: Eight-week-old male db/db mice were randomly divided into two groups
namely control group and apigenin group (50 mg·kg-1·d-1)
and 8 mice were used in each group. Another 8 male C57BL/6J mice were used as normal group. Body weight
serum glucose
lipid
histopathology and mRNA and protein expressions after a 4-week treatment were measured. Result: Compared with control group
apigenin group show significant decreases in body weight
fasting blood glucose (FBG)
total cholesterol (CHO)
total triglyceride (TG)
free fatty acids (FFA)
liver weight of mice (P<0.05
P<0.01)
and increases in fat deposition of adipose tissue according to the histological examination. The expressions of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (PPARα)
fatty acid synthetase (FAS) mRNA in adipose tissue of apigenin group decreased (P<0.01)
and the protein expressions of p-phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinaseα (AMPKα) and p-acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) were significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: The effect of apigenin in improving fatty metabolism of db/db mice may be realized by up-regulating the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC and down-regulating the expressions of SREBP1c
