PPARα/γ, adiponectin and GLUT4 overexpression induced by moronic acid methyl ester influenced on glucose and triglycerides levels of experimental diabetic mice

The current study aimed to determine the antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic activities of moronic acid methyl ester (1) by in vivo, in vitro, in silico and molecular biology studies. Compound 1 was evaluated to establish its dose-dependent antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic (50 mg/kg) activities, in diabetic and normoglycemic male CD1 mice, respectively. Also, compound 1 was subjected to a sub-acute study (50 mg/kg/day for eight days) to determine blood biochemical profiles and the expression of PTP-1B, GLUT4, PPAR-α, PPAR-γ, adiponectin, IL-1β, and MCP1 in adipose tissue of animals after treatment. Different doses in acute administration of 1 decreased glycemia (pThe accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
