본 연구에서는 초임계를 이용한 계피 오일 추출물(SFC)과 오일 추출 후 남은 부산물인 박(SFM), 그리고 80% methanol (ME) 계피추출물을 이용하여 항비만 효과를 비교하고 어떤 계피의 어떤 성질의 성분이 비만에 더 효과적인지 알아보았다. 3T3-L1 preadipocyte의 성숙한 지방세포로 분화시키기 위해 iso-butylmethylanthine (IBMX), dexamathasone, insulin을 SFC, SFM, ME를 처리하고 Real time PCR을 이용하여 전사인자 발현을 확인하였다. 그 결과 SFC에서 mRNA 수준에서 peroxisome-proliferators-activated-receptor-${gamma}$ ($PPAR{gamma}$), CCAAT enhancer-binding-protein ${alpha}$ ($C/EBP{alpha}$)의 저해능이 세 가지 조건 중에서 가장 높았으며, 또한 SFC는 peroxisome-proliferators-activated-receptor-${gamma}$ ($PPAR{gamma}$), CCAAT enhancer-binding-protein ${alpha}$ ($C/EBP{alpha}$) sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c)와 acyl-CoA synthetase-1 (ASC1), fatty acid synthesis (FAS), fatty acid transport-1 (FATP1), fatty acid binding protein-4 (FABP4) 그리고 perilipin의 전사인자도 농도유의적으로 감소시켰다.
This study was performed to evaluate the antiobesity effect of supercritical fluid extracts (SFC) and marc methanol extracts (SFM) from Cinnamomum verum in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. In inducing the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in the presence of an adipogenic cocktail, iso-butylmethylanthine (IBMX), dexamathasone, and insulin, treatment with fraction residue SFC and SFM. SFC significantly reduced the mRNA expression of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activate-dreceptor-${gamma}$ ($PPAR{gamma}$), the sterol regulatory-element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c), and the CCAAT enhancer-binding-protein ${alpha}$ ($C/EBP{alpha}$) in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, SFC markedly down-regulated acyl-CoA synthetase-1 (ASC1), fatty acid synthesis (FAS), fatty acid transport-1 (FATP1), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), and perilipin. These findings suggest that SFC may be a potential therapeutic adjunct for obesity by targeting the differentiation of preadipocytes, as well as their functions.
