Abstract

•Honokiol is identified and characterized as novel partial PPARγ agonist from nature.•In cell models honokiol increases glucose uptake but is not adipogenic.•In KKAy diabetic mice it decreases blood glucose and suppresses weight gain.•PPARγ agonism of honokiol may explain the use of Magnolia bark in traditional medicine.
