“…Besides PPARγ , AMPK is also known to regulate lipolytic enzymes in adipose tissue . Even though the effect of PE on AMPK was not evaluated in our study, previous reports have suggested that rosmarinic acid activates AMPK pathway in different tissues to exert it beneficial effects (Abe, Saito, & Nogata, 2016;Han, Kee, & Hong, 2018;Jayanthy, Roshana Devi, Ilango, & Subramanian, 2017;Vlavcheski, Naimi, Murphy, Hudlicky, & Tsiani, 2017). Therefore, we presume that the increased mRNA expression of ATGL and HSL, despite of the reduced PPARγ expression will be due to the activation of AMPK pathway.…”
