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.
Artemisia annua, a medicinal plant used in Egyptian medicine, shows potential in improving testicular function, although the exact mechanism is still under investigation.
Researchers investigated the Rheum ribes L. plant to understand its molecular mechanism in treating obesity and inflammation, which are linked to the rising prevalence of Type II diabetes.
L. leaf extract reduces weight gain, improves lipid accumulation and glucose sensitivity in obese mice by improving gut microbiota and reducing inflammation.
Scientists studied the effects of avocado-based silver nanoparticles on obese rats fed a high-fat diet, finding potential anti-obesity benefits.
Phenolamide extract (PAE) from apricot bee pollen reduced weight gain, improved glucose tolerance, and regulated gut microbiota and metabolites in obese mice. PAE could be used as a dietary supplement for obesity.
This study investigates how heat-processed G. pentaphyllum affects lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemic conditions, which is relevant for understanding its potential as a treatment option.
This review examines the effects of a plant-based remedy on obesity and type 2 diabetes. It found that the remedy can reduce blood glucose, body weight, cholesterol, and triglycerides while increasing HDL. It also decreases oxidative stress and inflammation. The remedy stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits cholesterol synthesis.
