AbstractObesity is associated with the growth and expansion of adipocytes which could be decreased via several mechanisms. Cissus Quadrangularis (CQ) extract has been shown to reduce obesity in humans; however, its effect on human white adipocytes (hWA) has not been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CQ on obesity, lipolysis, and browning of hWA. CQ treatment in obese humans significantly decreased waist circumference at week 4 and week 8 when compared with the baseline values (p < 0.05 all) and significantly decreased hip circumference at week 8 when compared with the baseline and week 4 values (p < 0.05 all). Serum leptin levels of the CQ-treated group were significantly higher at week 8 compared to baseline levels (p < 0.05). In hWA, glycerol release was reduced in the CQ-treated group when compared with the vehicle-treated group. In the browning experiment, pioglitazone, the PPAR-γ agonist, increased UCP1 mRNA when compared to vehicle (p < 0.01). Interestingly, 10, 100, and 1000 ng/ml CQ extract treatment on hWA significantly enhanced UCP1 expression in a dose-dependent manner when compared to pioglitazone treatment (p < 0.001 all). In conclusion, CQ decreased waist and hip circumferences in obese humans and enhanced UCP1 mRNA in hWA suggestive of its action via browning of hWA.

Rates Of Growth

The levels of maturation of protophloem and protoxylem elements in the adventitious aerial roots of Cissus quadrangularis and Ficus benghalensis are reported on the basis of serial sections of a large number of root apices. The aerial roots of Cissus resemble the roots of other taxa that have been studied in having the mature protophloem elements at a level distal to that where maturation of protoxylem elements occurs; those of Ficus show an inverse order, protophloem elements occurring proximal to protoxylem elements. In both the species studied, wide variations in levels of maturation of protophloem elements are noted in some roots, while others show a wide variation in levels of protoxylem elements. It is suggested that rates of growth and rates of the maturation process operating independently are involved.
