Abstract:
PURPOSE: A drug test apparatus applied in developing a novel drug is provided to quantitatively and qualitatively output drug screening data. CONSTITUTION: A drug test apparatus(100) comprises: a base part having a cell culture space for culturing cells; a cell stimulation unit(130) which is formed in a bimetal structure in the cell culture space of the base part and a heating unit for converting electricity into heat; a cell weight sensing unit(133) which has the cell stimulation unit and senses cell weight change; and an electricity resistance sensing unit(135) for sensing impedance change of cells. The apparatus further comprises a drug delivery unit(140). The drug delivery unit has piezoelectric polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating obesity and type 2 diabetes, or hepatic steatosis and, more specifically, to a composition for preventing or treating obesity and type 2 diabetes, or hepatic steatosis, containing derivatives including a main adipose differentiation promotion factor inhibitor or biaryl amide as an active ingredient. Additionally, by inhibiting a main adipose differentiation promotion factor and increasing Wnt10b, the composition according to the present invention can control differentiation of adipocytes, and increase insulin resistance and glucose resistance, thereby being effectively used for treating obesity and type 2 diabetes, or hepatic steatosis.
