13-Oxo-9E,11E-octadecadienoic acid, a potent PPARα activator derived from tomato juice and an isomer of 9-oxo-ODA, exhibits the ability to decrease plasma and hepatic triglyceride levels in obese diabetic mice[1].
BRL 37344 sodium is a specific agonist of the β3-adrenergic receptor. The treatment of BRL 37344 sodium significantly lowers the bodyweight of obese mice.
D5D-IN-326 is an orally active delta-5 desaturase (D5D) inhibitor (IC50s: 72 and 22 nM for rat and human D5D in enzymic and cell-based assays). It has no effect on D6D or D9D activity. D5D-IN-326 reduces insulin resistance and decreases body weight in die
YM-440 is a novel hypoglycemic agent, an insulin sensitizer, that may be used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus by reducing glucose 6-phosphatase activity in obese Zucker rats and inhibiting liver glucose output through gluconeogenesis.
1-Stearoyl-3-oleoyl-rac-glycerol is a diacylglycerol that contains stearic acid at the sn-1 position and oleic acid at the sn-3 position. Intermittent fasting decreases skeletal muscle and hepatic levels of 1-stearoyl-3-oleoyl-rac-glycerol in New Zealand obese (NZO) mice.1 The concentration of 1-stearoyl-3-oleoyl-rac-glycerol decreases from 4.59 to 1.88% during the dry-curing process of Iberian ham.2References1.

YW1128 is an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling with an IC50 value of 4.1 nM in a reporter assay.1 It decreases protein levels of β-catenin in the presence of the GSK3β inhibitor lithium chloride and increases protein levels of Axin1 in HEK293 cells. YW1128 decreases lipid accumulation and the expression of gluconeogenic and lipogenic genes in Huh7 cells. It decreases the hepatic expression of Wnt target genes, improves glucose tolerance, and prevents body weight increases and hepatic lipid accumulation in mice fed a high-fat diet, but not mice fed normal chow, when administered at a dose of 40 mg/kg every other day for 11 weeks.References1.
