However, there is no research targeting the effect of lipid metabolism in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mice. In this study, we evaluated the anti-obesity effects of Rg1 in 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells and HFD-induced obese C57BL/6J mice. Administration of Rg1 to HFD-induced obese mice significantly decreased body weight, total cholesterol, and total triglyceride levels. In addition to effects in 3T3-L1 cells, Rg1 reduced the accumulation of lipid droplets in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, Rg1 exhibits an anti-adipogenic effect via regulation of the expression of the transcriptional factors and lipid metabolism-related genes in vivo and in vitro. We observed that Rg1 administration significantly increased the phosphorylation level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in both epididymal white adipose tissue and 3T3-L1 cells. These results indicated that Rg1 works both in an anti-adipogenic and anti-obesity manner through inducing AMPK activation, inhibiting lipogenesis, and decreasing intracellular lipid content, adipocyte size, and adipose weight.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668354","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Jing Wang"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"College of Life Science, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668353","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Hongyu Zhao"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"Chinese Medicine Science Academy of Jilin Province, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668480","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Huimin Liu"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"College of Life Science, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"},{"@value":"National Engineering Laboratory for Wheat and Corn Deep Processing, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668356","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Meihong Liu"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"National Engineering Laboratory for Wheat and Corn Deep Processing, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"},{"@value":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668357","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Sanabil Yaqoob"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"National Engineering Laboratory for Wheat and Corn Deep Processing, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"},{"@value":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668355","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Dan Cai"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"National Engineering Laboratory for Wheat and Corn Deep Processing, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"},{"@value":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668358","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Mingzhu Zheng"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"National Engineering Laboratory for Wheat and Corn Deep Processing, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"},{"@value":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380580240199668352","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Jingsheng Liu"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"National Engineering Laboratory for Wheat and Corn Deep Processing, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"},{"@value":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China"}]}],"publication":{"publicationIdentifier":[{"@type":"EISSN","@value":"20726643"}],"prism:publicationName":[{"@value":"Nutrients"}],"dc:publisher":[{"@value":"MDPI AG"}],"prism:publicationDate":"2018-06-27","prism:volume":"10","prism:number":"7","prism:startingPage":"830"},"reviewed":"false","dc:rights":["https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],"url":[{"@id":"https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/10/7/830/pdf"}],"createdAt":"2018-06-27","modifiedAt":"2025-10-11","relatedProduct":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360580229783117312","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Isoquercitrin from <i>Apocynum venetum</i> L. produces an anti-obesity effect on obese mice by targeting C-1-tetrahydrofolate synthase, carbonyl reductase, and glutathione <i>S</i>-transferase P and modification of the AMPK/SREBP-1c/FAS/CD36 signaling pathway in mice <i>in vivo</i>"}]}],"dataSourceIdentifier":[{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.3390/nu10070830"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1039/d2fo02438a_references_DOI_YukT1lZoxZrPQ7zWD2p81q7qfSA"}]}
