{Abstract}: Obesity is a major risk factor for a variety of diseases and contributes to chronic inflammation. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring antioxidant that can reduce adipogenesis. In this study, the antiadipogenic and anti-inflammatory activities of resveratrol-enriched rice were investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells. Cotreatment of dexamethasone and isobutylmethylxanthin upregulated adipogenic transcription factors and signaling pathways. Subsequent treatment of adipocytes with rice seed extracts suppressed the differentiation of 3T3-L1 by downregulating adipogenic transcription factors (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α) and signaling pathways (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and protein kinase B Akt), this was especially observed in cells treated with germinated resveratrol-enriched rice seed extract (DJ526_5). DJ526_5 treatment also markedly reduced lipid accumulation in the cells and expression of adipogenic genes. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory cytokines (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6) decreased in cells treated with DJ526_5. Collectively, DJ526_5 exerts antiadipogenic effects by suppressing the expression of adipogenesis transcription factors. Moreover, DJ526_5 ameliorates anti-inflammatory effects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by inhibiting the activation of phosphorylation NF-κB p65 and ERK ½ (MAPK). These results highlight the potential of resveratrol-enriched rice as an alternative obesity-reducing and anti-inflammatory agent.
