Use of dihydroberberine to promote recruitment and activation of brown adipose tissues

Abstract

The present invention provides novel methods for promoting recruitment and activation of brown adipose tissues (BAT) or arousing browning of white adipose tissues (WAT) in a mammal, comprising administration to the mammal a composition comprising an effective amount of dihydroberberine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, acid, ester, polymer, analog or derivative thereof. The present invention also provides a composition comprising an effective amount of dihydroberberine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, acid, ester, polymer, analog or derivative thereof, for promoting recruitment and activation of brown adipose tissues (BAT) or arousing browning of white adipose tissues (WAT) in a mammal.
