Several polyphenols have been shown to be beneficial in preventing the accumulation of body fat in mammals. This paper reports that adding oligonol, a lychee fruit‐derived low‐molecular form of polyphenol mixture, has a greater effect on lipolysis in primary adipocytes compared with tea (−)‐epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG) alone, accompanied by a significant increase in activation of extracellular signalling‐related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). However, neither phosphorylation of mitogen‐activated protein kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2), a molecule upstream of ERK1/2, nor the level of heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1), a molecule downstream of ERK1/2 was significantly changed between oligonol and EGCG, although the addition of oligonol and EGCG significantly increased the levels of phosphorylated MEK1/2 and HO‐1 compared with the non‐treated control cells. These results suggest that the coordinated direct effect of mixed polyphenol, which comprises oligonol, on ERK1/2 plays a key role in a greater lipolytic response to oligonol than EGCG alone.
