Luteolin attenuates lipid dysregulation and insulin resistance thorough interplay of liver and adipose tissue in diet-induced obese mice

Analysis of effect of luteolin on lipid metabolism at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that luteolin treatment with obesogenic diet suppressed the hepatic lipogenesis pathways. Conversely, in adipose tissue, luteolin stimulated the lipogenesis pathway and it also simultaneously increased the expression of genes controlling lipolysis and TCA cycle. Results provide important information about the effect on diet-induced obesity and its metabolic complications.
