Summary: The study found that somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) inhibited proliferation and lipogenesis in preadipocytes. They achieved this by suppressing the PI3K/Akt pathway and downregulating the expression of PPAR gamma and C/EBP alpha.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of omega-6:omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in breast milk from non-obese and obese women on the process of adipogenesis in preadipocytes. The findings suggest that breast milk from non-obese women with a high omega-6:omega-3 PUFA ratio is associated with increased expression of lipogenic genes, while breast milk from obese women with a high omega-6:omega-3 PUFA ratio shows larger lipid droplets, indicating adipocyte dysfunction.

Summary: The study demonstrated that nuciferine has inhibitory effects on the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, possibly through downregulation of PPARγ, C/EBPα, and C/EBPβ, which in turn affects the transcription of lipogenic enzymes and lipid accumulation. Additionally, nuciferine can promote the expression of adipokines in fully differentiated adipocytes.

Summary: Lanthanum (La), a rare earth element, has various applications in agriculture, industry, and medicine. Studies have suggested that La may affect glycolipid metabolism in the body. In this study, researchers used 3T3-L1 preadipocytes as a cell model to investigate the effects of La(NO3)(3) on adipogenesis and the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that La(NO3)(3) inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, primarily at the early differentiation stage. Furthermore, La(NO3)(3) influenced cell proliferation and regulated signaling pathways involved in adipogenesis.

Summary: This study investigated the contribution of the galloyl group in polyphenols to their anti-adipogenic activity and its molecular mechanism. The presence of the galloyl moiety was found to be necessary for the inhibition of adipogenic differentiation, potentially by interfering with the early stages of differentiation and the downstream MAPK signaling pathway. These findings highlight the importance of galloylated polyphenols in suppressing adipocyte differentiation.

Summary: The study found that Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) can modulate adipocyte differentiation, increasing lipid content and gene expression of major adipogenesis markers. GbE can modify key proteins involved in the differentiation process and accelerate the expression of mature adipocyte proteins.

Summary: Expression of taste 2 receptor (T2R) genes has been observed in mouse white adipose tissue and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Fasting and bitter compounds stimulation increases Tas2r expression in mouse white adipose tissue, while serum starvation and bitter compounds stimulation increases Tas2r gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Tas2r126 may play a role in adipocyte differentiation, as suggested by RNA sequencing analysis and overexpression studies.

Summary: The study demonstrated that TSA inhibited adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by activating the AMPK pathway, leading to decreased lipid accumulation. Furthermore, TSA was also able to reverse the weight gain and adipose tissue increase induced by a high-fat diet in obese mouse models.

Summary: This study investigated the inhibitory effects of anthocyanins on insulin fibril formation. The results showed that anthocyanins significantly reduced fibril formation, altered the structure of insulin, and interacted with insulin molecules. The presence of glycosides and hydroxyl groups on phenyl rings increased the inhibitory effect of anthocyanins, and they also attenuated insulin fibril-induced cytotoxicity.

Summary: The inhibition of SIRT5 stimulates brown adipogenesis in vitro, promoting the expression of brown adipocyte and mitochondrial markers and increasing lipolysis. This approach shows potential as a strategy to target obesity and type 2 diabetes by activating brown adipose tissue.

Summary: Butyltins and phenyltins, widely used organometallic chemicals, have been found to stimulate adipogenic differentiation. Among them, tributyltin (TBT) is the most potent inducer, followed by triphenyltin (TPT) and dibutyltin (DBT). However, TPT and DBT can weaken the adipogenic effect of TBT. These findings indicate the antagonistic effects among organotins and the involvement of PPAR gamma signaling in their adipogenic outcomes.
