Effect of adzuki bean on noradrenaline-induced lipolysis in isolated fat cells from rats.
| Lipolysis (% of control) | |
|---|---|
| Treatments | Mean ± SE (n = 3) |
| None | 0 ± 0a |
| Noradrenaline (0.01 μg/mL) | 100 ± 0b |
| Noradrenaline + ABTE (1 mg/mL) | 166.08 ± 4.094ef |
| ABTE (1 mg/mL) | 136.84 ± 7.542d |
| Noradrenaline + ABF (1 mg/mL) | 175.63 ± 7.935f |
| ABF (1 mg/mL) | 112.87 ± 3.094bc |
| Noradrenaline + ABS (1 mg/mL) | 152.63 ± 5.916e |
| ABS (1 mg/mL) | 119.69 ± 3.514c |
ABTE, total extract of adzuki bean; ABF, flavonoids of adzuki bean; ABS, saponins of adzuki bean. Values are expressed as means ± SE of three experiments. Values marked by the same letters within column are not significantly different (p < 0.05).
