Abstract
⺠Pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) suppressed the elevated serum resistin in mice. ⺠PFE reduced resistin secretion without affecting the mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 cells. ⺠It was suggested that intracellular resistin protein was degraded by PFE treatment. ⺠Ellagic acid was identified as an active component of PFE. ⺠Our study provides a novel mechanism for suppressing resistin secretion.
