Diabetes mellitus is associated with dysregulation of adipose tissue metabolism and increased level of serum lipids. In our previous work we found that  Securigera securidaca  decreases cholesterol level in blood of diabetic rats. The present study was carried out to further investigate the effects of this plant on lipid metabolism, lipolysis, and adipogenesis, in diabetic rats. Female Wistar rats were rendered diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Retroperitoneal adipose tissue was removed from diabetic animals after seven days of streptozotocin injection. Effect of hydroalcoholic extract of  S. securidaca  seeds (100–800  μ g/mL) on adipose tissue lipolysis was evaluated in  ex vivo  condition. Also, to evaluate adipogenesis, preadipocytes were isolated from adipose tissue and differentiated to adipocytes in the presence of the extract. The extract at concentration of 800  μ g/mL decreased both basal and catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis ( P  < 0.05). Incubation of differentiating preadipocytes with 800  μ g/mL of  S. securidaca  extract decreased intracellular lipid droplet accumulation as evaluated with Oil Red O staining ( P  < 0.001). The extract even at high concentrations had no effect on viability of preadipocytes. In conclusion,  S. securidaca  decreases lipolysis and adipogenesis without cytotoxicity, which makes it a good candidate for management of dyslipidemia and reduction of cardiovascular risks in diabetes.
