Pterostilbene promotes fat burning in skeletal muscle cells by stabilizing PPARδ

Caption

Pterostilbene, a natural polyphenol found in blueberries and grapes, reduced fat accumulation in cultured skeletal muscle cells by enhancing fatty acid oxidation. The compound stabilized the metabolic regulator PPARδ by preventing its degradation. The study reveals a previously unknown mechanism and may support future dietary strategies for improving metabolic health.
