Effects of Taeyeumjoweetang on the obesity of mouse and induced adipocyte 3T3-L1

태음조위탕(太陰調胃湯)이 백서(白鼠)의 비만증(肥滿症) 및 유도비만세포(誘導肥滿細胞)에 미치는 효과(效果)

Effects of Taeyeumjoweetang on the obestity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. It is researched to elucidate the effects of Taeyeumjoweetang on the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose and the differentiation and growth of preadipocyte, 3T3-L1 cell. The result were as follows. 1. Taeyeumjoweetang extract improved the blood level of transaminase changed by the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. 2. Taeyeumjoweetang extract inhibited the increase of liver fat and body fat induced by the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. 3. Taeyeumjoweetang extract inhibited the increase of body weight induced by the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. 4. Taeyeumjoweetang extract inhibited the growth of undifferentiate preadipocyte 3T3-L1. 5. Taeyeumjoweetang extract showed the effects of inhibition on the differentiation of preadipocyte 3T3-L1. The above results suggested that the Taeyeumjoweetang extract may be used on the obesity induced by the overgrowth and differentiation of adipocyte, and the accumulation of fat in liver and body.
