Abstract:
Curcuma zedoaria is a characteristic species of its genus that contains little to no curcuminoid. Here, we demonstrate that C. zedoaria extracts with 50% methanol increases adiponectin secretion into the media by enhancing PPARγ mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 cells. These results indicate that C. zedoaria may be useful for preventing/improving lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis.
