Abstract

Objective: To explore the effects of berberine and insulin on adiponectin mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte. Method:The 3T3-L1 adipocyte was treated with berberine and insulin for 48 hours,the level of adiponectin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte expression was determined with semiquantity RT-PCR using β-actin as internal reference. Result: The level of adiponetin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte was increased after treated with berberine only(P0.05),the effect of berberine was inhibited by high concentration insulin(P0.05). Conclusion: in vitro,berberine increases the expression of adiponectin in 3T3-L1 adipocyte,insulin inhibits the effect of berberine.
