Abstract: AIM:To approach the antiobesity action and mechanisms of the daidzein derivative: LRXH609 (LRX). METHODS:The body weight, Lee′s index, total weight of celiac fat tissue, food intake, serum glucose and lipids in obese rats induced by a high-fat diet were measured and the antiobesity action was tested after LRX was administered for 30 days. 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were induced by in vitro culture, the effects of LRX on cell proliferation, lipogenesis, lipolysis were observed. RESULTS:The body weight, Lee′s index, fat tissue weight in obese rats were significantly decreased by LRX, and the concentrations of TC, FFA in serum were decreased, the proliferation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes was inhibited, the activities of hormone sensitive lipase in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were significantly elevated, the glycerine release from adipocytes was promoted and the concentrations of TG in adipocytes were decreased. CONCLUSION: LRX plays a role in antiobesity action and regulating blood lipid and the mechanism might be related to inhibiting proliferation and differentiation of pre-adipocytes, stimulating TG decomposition by activating hormone-sensitive lipase and decreasing the TG storage in adipocyte.
