Coix Sprouts Affect Triglyceride Metabolism in Huh7 Cells and High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice.

Summary

L. Stapf sprouts (CS) can help reduce obesity by activating the enzyme ATGL and inhibiting enzymes involved in fat synthesis. CS treatment decreased intracellular fat levels, body weight gain, and improved lipid profiles in mice. CS have potential as an anti-obesity agent.
