Article Abstract
The induction of acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) and ACBP mRNA was investigated in 3T3-L1 cells during growth and insulin-induced differentiation. The level of ACBP relative to both total soluble protein and DNA increased during insulin-stimulated conversion of 3T3-L1 cells from preadipocytes into fully developed adipocytes. So did the total rate of lipogenesis, as measured by incorporation of [1-14C]acetate. A similar increase in ACBP mRNA relative to total RNA was observed. These results therefore suggest that ACBP plays a specific role in the lipogenic process. However, this role might be indirect, as the increase in lipogenesis preceded the increase in ACBP. The significance of this finding is discussed.

Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a cytosolic lipid chaperone predominantly expressed in adipocytes. It has been shown that targets adipose tissues and resides in adipocytes. However, how manipulates adipocytes to redirect nutrients for its benefit remains unknown.

Obesity-related complications are often driven by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, exacerbated by aberrant DNA methylation. Natural products with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may offer therapeutic potential. This study investigated the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of Tratt fermentation broth (RRTFB) on obesity through targeted methylation, while also examining its primary active components and assessing its potential therapeutic value.

Background: Acute hyperinsulinemia may directly affect blood cells. In this study a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (HEC) and multiomics methods were used to explore the epigenetic regulation by hyperinsulinemia in blood cells.
Methods: To assess short-term changes in DNA methylation (within 2 hours), blood samples were collected from five non-diabetic adults before and after HEC.

Previously, we reported that KU4 (LKU4) ameliorates diet-induced metabolic disorders by regulating adipose tissue (AT) physiology. Since metabolic disorders and age-related pathological conditions mutually exacerbate each other, this study hypothesizes that LKU4 may protect against adipose senescence during aging. Thus, this study demonstrates that LKU4 administration suppresses age-related metabolic dysfunction and aging phenotypes in AT of 24-month-old mice.

Obesity and overweight are two highly prevalent conditions worldwide, which can lead to death or produce chronic and degenerative diseases. The search for alternative therapies to control these morbidities can involve the study of metabolites obtained from plants. Particularly, pentacyclic triterpenes produce an antiadipogenic effect by affecting the expression of master regulators of adipogenesis and their signaling pathways, including LKB1-AMPK pathway.
