Abstract
Provided is a method of treating metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hepatic steatosis, and hyperinsulinemia in a subject in need, including the step of administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of antcin K. Also provided is a method of enhancing protein expression ratio of phospho-5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (phospho-AMPK) to total AMPK in skeletal muscle or liver of a subject, and a method of reducing blood leptin in a subject. Antcin K exerts prominent antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects through regulation of membrane GLUT4, AMPK, Akt PPARα, FAS, and PPARγ protein expressions and G6Pase, DGAT2, SREBP-1c, aP2, apoCIII, SREBP2, and PPARα mRNA expressions.
