Decaffeinated Green Coffee Bean Extract Attenuates Diet-Induced Obesity and Insulin Resistance in Mice

Figure 8

The possible molecular mechanisms of decaffeinated green coffee bean extract in attenuating adipogenesis, inflammation, and insulin resistance induced by HFD. Decaffeinated green coffee bean extract reverses HFD-induced changes in expression of genes involved in WNT10b- and galanin-mediated adipogenesis cascades in the epididymal adipose tissue. The downstream adipogenic transcription factors (PPARγ2 and C/EBPα) and their target genes were also suppressed by decaffeinated green coffee bean extract in the epididymal adipose tissue. Decaffeinated green coffee bean extract reverses the HFD-induced changes in the expression of genes related to TLR2/4-mediated proinflammatory signaling cascades and proteins involved in GLUT4 translocation in the epididymal adipose tissue.
