PPARγagonists are widely used medications in diabetes mellitus therapy. Their role in improving adipose tissue function contributes to antidiabetic effects. The extracts ofDodonaea viscosahave been reported to exert antidiabetic activity. However, the effective mediators and the underlying mechanisms were largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the action on PPARγtransactivation and adipocyte modulation of two typical flavonoid constituents fromD. viscosa, 5,4′-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavanone and aliarin. Our results showed that 5,4′-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavanone and aliarin were potential partial PPARγagonists. The compounds induced adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells, with an upregulated adiponectin mRNA level and enhanced insulin sensitivity. The favorable effects of 5,4′-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavanone, aliarin, and other flavonoid constituents on adipocytes might contribute to the antidiabetic efficacy ofD. viscosa.
