Notoginsenoside Fe
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Notoginsenoside Fe (Notoginseng triterpenes; Ginsenoside Mb) is a saponin with anti-obesity and anti-neuroblastoma activities. Notoginsenoside Fe can be isolated from leaves of Panax notoginseng. Notoginsenoside Fe specifically activates paraventricular nucleus neurons in the hypothalamus, effectively reducing body weight, improving fasting blood glucose and protecting liver function by decreasing food intake, increasing resting metabolic rate and enhancing energy expenditure. Notoginsenoside Fe also inhibits the c-Src signaling pathway, blocks the proliferation and viability of human neuroblastoma cells, while improving mitochondrial dysfunction and alleviating apoptosis. Notoginsenoside Fe can be used in studies related to diet-induced obesity and neuroblastoma.

Result:Significantly inhibited the viability of SH-SY5Y cells, though its inhibitory effect was weaker than that of notoginsenoside Ft1.
Notoginsenoside Fe (5 mM in 2 μl per mouse; i.c.v.; single dose) reduces food intake in diet-induced obese male C57BL/6 mice and specifically activates paraventricular nucleus neurons[1].
Notoginsenoside Fe (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 6 days) has no effect on body weight, food intake, or hypothalamic neuron activation in healthy lean male C57BL/6 mice[1].

Improved glucose tolerance, with reduced blood glucose levels at 60, 90, and 120 minutes following glucose injection.
Ameliorated hepatic steatosis, reduced hepatic triglyceride levels, and lowered serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels compared to untreated obese mice.
Reduced adipose tissue adipocyte size and fat mass percentage, while increasing lean mass percentage relative to body weight.
Reduced mRNA expression levels of lipogenesis-related genes FAS, CD36, SREBP-1c, and MCP-1 in white adipose tissue.
Significantly increased oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) in both light and dark cycles, with no change in respiratory exchange ratio (RER).
