| In vitro study | Fucosterol (0-50 μM; 7 days) suppresses the expression of PPARα and C/EBPα when compared to fully differentiated control adipocytes. Fucosterol shows cytotoxicity against T47D and HT29 cell lines with IC 50 values of 27.94 and 70.41 μg/ml, respectively.Fucosterol decreases cell HEK293, MCF-7, and SiHa cells proliferation with IC 50 values of 185.4, 43.3, and 34.0 µg/ml, respectively. Cell Viability Assay Cell Line: 3T3-L1 adipocytes Concentration: 0 μM; 25 μM; 50 μM Incubation Time: 7 days Result: Inhibited PPARα and C/EBPα expression. |
| In vivo study | Fucosterol (oral adminstratin; 30mg/kg) causes a significant decrease in serum glucose concentrations, and exhibits an inhibition of sorbitol accumulations in the lenses. |

| biological activity | Fucosterol is a sterol that can be separated from algae, seaweed or diatoms. Fucosterol has a variety of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-fat, lowering blood cholesterol, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer activities. Fucosterol by inhibiting the expression of PPARα and C/EBPα to regulate adipogenesis, it can be used for anti-obesity reagent development research. |
