Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?) is a central regulator of adipocyte differentiation and is the principle target of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) class of antidiabetic drugs.{10162} Harmine is a ?-carboline alkaloid that was first isolated from seeds of Peganum harmala (Syrian rue) and Banisteriopsis caapi. Recent work indicates that harmine is a unique regulator of PPAR? expression that acts by inhibiting the Wnt signalling pathway in a cell-specific manner.{14921} Administration of harmine (30 mg/kg) to obese db/db mice resulted in reduced blood glucose, free fatty acids, and triglyceride levels, delayed hyperglycemia, and improved insulin sensitivity. Harmine also attenuates inflammatory gene expression (TNF-?, IL-1?, iNOS) and macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue.{14921}
