The present invention relates to a composition for the prevention, improvement, or treatment of
obesity or
obesity-induced
inflammation comprising
patulin as an
active ingredient. A composition containing
patulin as an
active ingredient according to the present invention has the effect of inhibiting
lipid accumulation, and can inhibit
lipid accumulation by regulating
sugar absorption,
glycerol excretion, or LDL absorption, reducing the expression of factors related to
lipogenesis or lipid synthesis such as Pparγ, Fasn, Acly, C / ebpα, Fabp4, Cd36, Dgat2, or Gpat, increasing the expression of
fatty acid oxidation regulators such as PGC1α or CPT1a, and improving the volume and
membrane potential of mitochondria. In addition, it can inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines or inflammatory regulators such as IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, or Cox-2, thereby preventing, treating, or improving
obesity or obesity-induced
inflammation, and can be utilized as a material for food, feed, pharmaceuticals, quasi-pharmaceuticals, etc.
