Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE50) contains bioflavonoids and several flavonoids that inhibit human pancreatic lipase (hPL), potentially enhancing its anti-obesity effects.
Researchers formulated nanoemulsions of probiotics and local herbs to assess their therapeutic potential in obese rats. The combination significantly improved body weight, liver and kidney function, and histology. Probiotics and local herbs may be a complementary option for obesity treatment.
Scientists studied the anti-obesity effect of chenpi tea, made from citri reticulatae pericarpium, Ganoderma lucidum, and pu-erh tea, in mice on a high-fat diet. They used RNA sequencing and metabolomic analysis to identify potential mechanisms.
Leptin helps regulate body weight by increasing energy expenditure. It also promotes browning of fat cells. However, in obese individuals, the receptors for leptin and a key protein are decreased.
This study examined the effects of Ophiopogonin D (OP-D) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice. OP-D was found to improve NAFLD by regulating lipid metabolism, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory responses. OP-D also reduced lipogenesis and inflammation, potentially through the NF-κB signaling pathway.
Researchers studied the effects of a high-fructose and high-fat diet on obesity and fatty liver disease. Their findings can help develop new treatments for these common metabolic disorders.
Researchers studied the effects of Salvia officinalis (SAGE) on obesity and type 2 diabetes. SAGE showed potential as an anti-diabetic and anti-obesity agent in rats.
This study examined the impact of intense functional training combined with spinach supplement on certain hormones and insulin resistance in obese males.
