This study was conducted to evaluate the insulin-sensitising capabilities of P. giganteus by using the 3T3-L1 cell line model. The basidiocarps of P. giganteus were purchased from Nas Agro Farm, Sepang and extracted using hot water and methanol. The methanol extract of P. giganteus was fractionated to obtain the hexane, butanol and ethyl acetate fractions. The effect of P. giganteus extracts and fractions on the proliferation of 3T3- L1 preadipocyte cells was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Highest 3T3-L1 preadipocytes proliferation was obtained using hot water extract and butanol fraction of P. giganteus.

The ethyl acetate fraction at 100 μg/ml showed the highest free fatty acid release from 3T3-L1 adipocytes by 3.4 fold. Collectively, the ethyl acetate fraction at 100 μg/ml moderately induced cell proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells and highly stimulated lipogenesis, glucose uptake and lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
