Fu brick tea polysaccharides (FBTPSs) from fermented tea leaves reduced obesity, hyperlipidemia, inflammation, and improved gut microbiota in high-fat diet-fed rats. FBTPSs may be a promising prebiotic for obesity and dysbiosis treatment.
A review found that a diet including Mexican ancestral foods like cocoa, nopal, avocado, and common bean can help reduce obesity and related health issues. More research is needed for conclusive evidence.
Researchers obtained a polyphenolic-rich extract from Tageres erecta flowers. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed potential anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects. Polyphenols from T. erecta can be considered as bioactive compounds for preventing metabolic chronic diseases.
Lemon fermented products (LFP) reduced liver triglyceride and cholesterol levels, regulated genes related to lipid metabolism, and improved gut microbiota, potentially preventing obesity.
Fermented kombucha drink contains compounds with potential as antiobesity agents. Major compounds like Kaempferol and Quercetin ranked high in inhibiting lipase enzymes and fat mass-associated proteins. Further studies needed for validation.
Researchers investigated the anti-obesity effects of encapsulated fucoxanthin in fucoidan-based nanoemulsion on high-fat diet-induced obese rats. Results showed that fucoxanthin reduced body and liver weight, improved biochemical parameters, and attenuated lipid accumulation in the liver.
Combining caloric restriction with beetroot juice improves vascular and cognitive function in overweight adults, finds a pilot study. The CR+BRJ group had better results in microvascular flux, endothelial activity, cognitive scores, and urinary 8-isoprostane concentrations.
SCP, derived from Smilax china L., reduces insulin resistance and obesity in mice by regulating gene and protein expressions involved in metabolism. It may have potential therapeutic value for lifestyle diseases.
