PLANT-ORIGIN BETA3-ADRENOCEPTOR AGONIST AND USE OF THE SAME

摘要

The present inventors produced lotus leaf extracts, and discovered that quercetin is one of the active ingredients. As a result of treating β₃-adrenergic receptor-expressing cells and feeding diabetes model mice with quercetin and evaluating its effects, the present inventors discovered specifically that quercetin produces obesity-improving effects and antidiabetic effects by acting as a β₃-adrenergic receptor agonist.
