Researchers found that polysaccharides from Platycodon grandiflorus root reduced weight gain in mice, altered expression of lipid metabolism genes, and changed gut microbiota, suggesting potential as an anti-obesity treatment.
This review summarizes how eating oat can help reduce obesity through various mechanisms including regulating appetite, gut health, fat metabolism, and hormonal responses. Oat constituents like starch, fiber, and beta-glucan possess anti-obesity properties.
This study examined the effects of an extract from Linn leaves on obesity-related metabolic abnormalities. The extract reduced body weight gain and improved insulin sensitivity, suggesting it could be a potential treatment for obesity-related diseases.
Sulfated alfalfa polysaccharides (SAPs) derived from alfalfa polysaccharides (APs) improve antioxidant capacity, reduce inflammation, regulate intestinal flora, and alleviate obesity symptoms. These findings suggest that APs and SAPs could be potential probiotic products for obesity management.
This study compared the effects of diet alone and diet with myo-inositol, d-chiro-inositol, α-lactalbumin, and in obese dysmetabolic patients. The treated group showed greater improvements in metabolic parameters, suggesting that this supplement combination could enhance the effects of dietary programs.
This study tested the effect of pomegranate peel supplementation on obese rats. Pomegranate peel increased antioxidant capacity in the rats despite diminishing phenolic compounds after digestion.
This study explored the therapeutic properties of basil seed essential oil, including its antioxidant, anti-obesity, antidiabetic, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activities. It adds to the search for natural compounds for obesity, diabetes, infections, cancer, and oxidative stress.
