Crocetin attenuates palmitate‐induced insulin insensitivity and disordered tumor necrosis factor‐<i>α</i> and adiponectin expression in rat adipocytes

Abstract

Crocetin blocked the impaired insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and disordered TNF-alpha and adiponectin expression induced by palmitate in rat adipocytes. Inactivation of NADPH oxidase may account for these observations.
