| Bioactivity | Theobromine is a methylxanthine found in cacao beans which can inhibit adenosine receptor A1 (AR1) signaling. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Theobromine, at concentrations above 25 μM, decreases lipid accumulation in these cells. Cell viability is not affected by Theobromine. Theobromine, at concentrations above 25 μM, suppresses protein expression of PPARγ, C/EBPα and adipogenic genes. The mRNA levels of these genes are also decreased by Theobromine[1]. | ||||||||||||
