Abstract

Nobiletin (NOB) may partially reverse disruptions in circadian clock gene oscillations in primary liver cells under metabolic disorder conditions.

  • NOB effectively amplifies glucose uptake through stimulation of the IRS-1/AKT signaling pathway.
  • NOB reduces lipogenesis induced by palmitate in liver cells by modulating specific signaling pathways and enzymes.
  • NOB decreases excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and restores mitochondrial membrane potential.
  • NOB's effects on metabolic balance and mitochondrial function are linked to the core clock gene Bmal1.
