Abstract
NLRP3 (Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3) inflammasome has been reported to contribute to obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. However, there are few drugs targeting NLRP3 inflammasome for the treatment of insulin resistance. In the present study, we showed that berberine (BBR) significantly suppressed saturated fatty acid palmitate (PA)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release in...
