The global incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has risen precipitously, even in middle- and low-income countries. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) plays an important role in the control of cellular glucose metabolism. Activation of PPARγ beneficially results in increased insulin sensitivity. However, the expression of PPARγ is reduced by obesity and several nutritional factors. Here we examined the effect of geranylgeraniol (GGOH), a bioactive compound found naturally in fruits, vegetables, and grains, on the expression and activation of PPARγ.
C3H10T1/2 mouse embryonic fibroblasts and 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were used as in vitro models of adipocyte differentiation and function. Quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, Oil Red O staining, and luciferase assay were performed to respectively assess mRNA expression, protein levels, lipid droplet formation and transcriptional activity.
GGOH increased the expression of PPARγ in adipocyte lineage cells. GGOH also enhanced adipogenesis induced by rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione class PPARγ agonist.

糖尿病(DM)的全球发病率急剧上升,即使在中低收入国家也是如此。过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)在细胞葡萄糖代谢的控制中起重要作用。PPARγ的激活有益地导致胰岛素敏感性增加。然而,肥胖和几种营养因素会降低PPARγ的表达。在此,我们研究了香叶基香叶醇(GGOH),一种天然存在于水果、蔬菜和谷物中的生物活性化合物,对PPARγ表达和激活的影响。

GGOH增加了脂肪细胞系细胞中PPARγ的表达。GGOH还增强了罗格列酮(一种噻唑烷二酮类PPARγ激动剂)诱导的脂肪生成。
