TRF suppressed the insulin induced mRNA expression of adipocyte-specific genes such as PPARgamma , adipocyte fatty acid binding protein ( aP2 ), and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-alpha ( C/EBPalpha ) compared with the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes only in the presence of insulin

In this study, we presented data that the tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) of palm oil activated PPARalpha, PPARgamma , and PPARdelta in reporter based assays
