Effects of Lonicera japonica Thunb. on Type 2 Diabetes via PPAR-γ Activation in Rats

Abstract: Lonicera japonica Thunb. (Caprifoliaceae) is a traditional herbal medicine and has been used to treat diabetic symptoms. Notwithstanding its use, the scientific basis on anti-diabetic properties of L. japonica is not yet established. This study is designed to investigate anti-diabetic effects of L. japonica in type 2 diabetic rats. L. japonica was orally administered at the dose of 100 mg/kg in high-fat diet-fed and low-dose streptozotocin-induced rats. After the treatment of 4 weeks, L. japonica reduced high … Show more

“…Thus, PPARc agonists, such as pioglitazone and rosiglitazone, have been widely used as insulin sensitizers in the diabetes treatment [28]. In the current studies, plantderived compound extracts have been described to improve insulin sensitivity and promote adipocyte differentiation by activating PPARc [29][30][31]. Herein, we demonstrated for the first time that HEPa/EtOAc treatment increased the expression of PPARc in liver and with more intensity in adipose tissue.…”

“…HEPa/EtOAc treatment was able to improve the physiological parameters from obese mice, through the activation of PPARc per si, as well as the enhancement of antioxidant mechanism by an increase in PPARc/CuZn-SOD axis expression in liver and adipose tissue scientific community [24,25,31]. In this way, it has been demonstrated that compounds from plant sources can modulate nuclear receptors such as PPARs [29][30][31]47]. Additionally, several studies have suggested that the large fraction of flavonoids could be responsible for PPARc activation and consequently the cellular effects observed [47,48].…”

“…The use of plants that contain these metabolites for the treatment of T2D has been reported in folk medicine [36,[45][46][47]. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report regarding antidiabetic properties of compounds 26 and 29.…”

“…The regioisomers 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid n-butyl ester (26) and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid n-butyl ester (29) showed the highest inhibitory effects in the α-glucosidase assay. The use of plants that contain these metabolites for the treatment of T2D has been reported in folk medicine [36,[45][46][47]. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report regarding antidiabetic properties of compounds 26 and 29.…”
