5-Heptadecylresorcinol (AR-C17), a well-known biomarker for whole grain rye consumption, is a primary homolog of alkylresorcinols. In this study, the effects of AR-C17 on the thermogenesis of brown adipocytes and 3T3-L1 adipocytes were investigated. The results showed that AR-C17 increased sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) expression, and the expressions of specific thermogenic genes in adipocytes were increased. Furthermore, AR-C17 increased the mitochondrial functions during the thermogenic activation of adipocytes. In in vivo study, AR-C17 increased the cold tolerance and thermogenic capacity of adipose tissues in aging mice. In addition, Sirt3 activity was required for AR-C17-induced thermogenesis. Meanwhile, AR-C17 increased adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation, and AMPK was involved in the regulation of AR-C17 on thermogenic adipocytes. Mechanically, AR-C17 upregulated a Sirt3-AMPK positive-feedback loop in adipocytes and further increased the expression of uncoupling protein 1 to activate thermogenesis. This study indicated that AR-C17 could be a promising thermogenic activator of adipocytes to alleviate obesity and aging-associated metabolic diseases.
