Therefore, this study tested whether rottlerin inhibits adipogenesis and de novo lipogenesis via the LRP6/mTOR/SREBP1C pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Rottlerin dramatically decreased lipid accumulation assessed by Oil Red O as evidence to support the cellular phenotype (<i>p</i> < 0.001).

Further investigation revealed that rottlerin reduced the AKT/mTOR pathway via diminished total protein of LRP6 (<i>p</i> < 0.05).

In vivo experiments showed that WS-S significantly lowered body weight gain and decreased adipose tissue, lipid, aspartate transaminase, and alanine aminotransferase levels in HFD/F-treated mice. Furthermore, WS-S stimulated the phosphorylation of ACC and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha via the AMPK pathway and inhibited SREBP-1/FAS signaling to inhibit de novo adipogenesis and increase fatty acid oxidation.
