Metabolome and transcriptome signatures shed light on the anti-obesity effect of Polygonatum sibiricum.

Researchers found that older rhizomes of a medicinal plant contain higher levels of phloretin, linoleic acid, and α-linolenic acid, contributing to an anti-obesity effect. Genetic pathways controlling metabolite accumulation were identified, providing insights for future research.
