This study was designed to evaluate the effects and mechanism of Platycodi radix, having white balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum for. albiflorum (Honda) H. Hara) on obesity and insulin resistance. The extracts of Platycodi radix with white balloon flower were tested in cultured cells and
To study the effect of Platycodon grandiflorum (P.g.) feeding on serum and liver lipid concentrations, diet-induced hyperlipidemic rats were fed diets containing 5% and 10% P.g. powder for 3 weeks. The P.g. feeding markedly decreased both serum and liver lipid concentrations in hyperlipidemic rats.
The protective effects of saponins isolated from the root of Platycodon grandiflorum (Changkil saponins: CKS) against alcoholic steatosis in liver injury induced by acute ethanol administration were investigated. Pretreatment with CKS prior to ethanol administration significantly prevented the
The effect of dietary Platycodon grandiflorum on the improvement of insulin resistance and lipid profile was investigated in lean (Fa/-) and obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats, a model for noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Dietary Platycodon grandiflorum feeding for 4 weeks resulted in a significant
OBJECTIVE
Obesity and diabetes have become the most common human health problems worldwide. Obesity's contribution to type 2 diabetes might be due to dysregulation of adipokines and glucose uptake.
METHODS
In this study, we performed in-vivo and in-vitro studies to evaluate the effects of Platycodon
The aim of this study was to investigate whether fermented Platycodon grandiflorum (FPG) inhibits lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. We evaluated the effect of FPG on antiadipogenic activity via regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated
Fatty liver and steatosis induced by alcohol is the earliest and most common response of the liver to alcohol and may be a precursor of more severe forms of liver injury. However, the mechanism of liver injury and deposition of fatty liver due to alcohol is complex. The protective effects of
OBJECTIVE
This study was carried out to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) in ethanol (EtOH)-induced liver damage.
RESULTS
PG treatment (both the total extract and saponin fraction) significantly blocked EtOH-induced oxidative stress through the preservation of
Platycodin D (PD) is the main active saponin of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) and is reported to exhibit multiple biological effects, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, and anti-obesity properties. Although recently there have been many research reports on the chemical constituents of the
