Chicoric acid (Cichoric acid), an orally active dicaffeyltartaric acid, induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Chicoric acid inhibits cell viability and induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through ROS-mediated PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. Chicoric acid increases glucose uptake, improves insulin resistance, and attenuates glucosamine-induced inflammation. Chicoric acid has antidiabetic properties and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects.

Apoptosis Analysis^[1]

Cell Line:	3T3-L1 preadipocytes
Concentration:	100 μM
Incubation Time:	48 hours
Result:	Demonstrated typical characteristics of apoptosis such as cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, and the increased permeability of cell membranes after DAPI and AO/EB staining.

Western Blot Analysis^[1]

Cell Line:	3T3-L1 preadipocytes
Concentration:	100 μM
Incubation Time:	48 hours
Result:	Decreased the protein level of p-Akt in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The protein level of total Akt was not affected

In Vivo

Chicoric acid (Cichoric acid; 60 mg/kg/day; drinking water for 4 weeks) inhibits pancreas apoptosis and adjusts islet function in diabetic mice, leading to an increase in insulin generation and secretion in C57BL/6J mice with Streptozotocin (STZ; 50 mg/kg; ip; for consecutive 5 days)^[3].

Help & FAQs

Do most proteins show cross-species activity?
Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
