Collection: Obesity and Diabetes Research

Obesity and Diabetes Research — covers reference compounds used in studies of lipid and glucose metabolic pathways, ranging from alpha-glucosidase and lipase enzyme inhibitors to PPARγ agonists and inhibitors of AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) formation. This category also contains sweetener reagents for experimental research related to taste perception and carbohydrate metabolism.

Obesity and Diabetes Research is used by cell biology and pharmacology researchers to develop in vitro models related to lipid regulation, insulin resistance, and protein glycation. Compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acid derivatives are used as test materials in screening for metabolic enzyme activity, while sugar analogs are used as experimental models in studies of metabolic signaling pathways and research on alternative sweetener materials.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0092 7512-17-6 N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine, TCI B6160 BGP-15 Hydrochloride, TCI X0018 87-99-0 Xylitol, TCI C0002 331-39-5 Caffeic Acid, TCI W0025 947669-91-2 WWL 70, TCI C0181 327-97-9 Chlorogenic Acid, TCI V0119 83480-29-9 Voglibose, TCI C0487 139-05-9 Sodium N-Cyclohexylsulfamate.

Choose based on the mechanistic target being studied (enzyme inhibitor, receptor agonist, or sweetener model) as well as the purity and salt form of the compound, as both determine the consistency of in vitro assay results. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
