Article Description

Cirsium setidens Nakai contains bioactive compounds that exert biological activities. Method validation for analysis of the pectolinarin content in Cirsium setidens extracts (CSE) and radical scavenging-linked antiobesity activities using 3T3-L1 cells and C57BL/6 mice were performed. The pectolinarin content of CSE was 2.81±0.01 mg/g with a high degree of linearity in calibration curves (R=0.9999). CSE exhibited free radical-scavenging activities and a reducing power. CSE and pectolinarin inhibited lipid accumulation during adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 cells via down-regulation of adipogenic transcription factors. CSE supplementation suppressed body weight in C57BL/6 mice fed a high fat diet and reduced plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, insulin, and glucose levels. Pectolinarin-enriched CSE can be considered as a good source of natural antioxidants and antiobesity ingredients.
