The invention discloses an application of rhein in a
medicine for inhibiting the activity of a
glucocorticoid receptor, the rhein is associated with the
glucocorticoid for the first time, and it is found that the rhein achieves the effect of inhibiting the activity of the
glucocorticoid receptor by regulating and controlling the
glucocorticoid receptor to convert co-activated molecules
arginine and
glutamic acid rich
protein 1 (ARGLU1). Therefore, a basis can be provided for applying the rhein to the preparation of the
medicine for inhibiting the activity of the
glucocorticoid receptor, and the rhein can achieve an obvious improvement effect on
anxiety caused by high-glucocorticoid including
corticosterone. Rheinic acid can increase the
browning degree of brown fat of mice and UCP1 expression and can induce fat
browning, and in combination with mouse experiment results, it is shown that the rheinic acid increases
energy consumption of organisms and reduces the body
fat content, so that application of the rheinic acid in resisting
obesity and improving metabolic syndromes caused by
obesity has a prospect, and the rheinic acid can be used for preparing medicines for resisting
obesity and improving metabolic syndromes caused by obesity. And more directions are provided for further development and application of the rhein.
