Popis: Objective: To determine the effect of Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) on glucose and lipid metabolism in mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, and to investigate the underlying mechanisms by measuring the expression levels of key adipogenic transcription factors. Methods: Six-week-old C57BL/6J male mice were fed for 12 weeks with a HFD to induce obesity or a standard diet to serve as normal controls. A mean body weight increase of more than 20% after these 12 weeks was used as the criteria for obesity. HFD-fed obese mice then received a supplement of Sal B (100 mg/kg body weight/day), metformin (75 mg/kg body weight/day) or water (an equivalent volume; served as model controls) by oral gavage for an additional 8 weeks, and the normal controls received water (an equivalent volume) by oral gavage for the same period. Results: Sal B significantly reduced body weight gain (P
