Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) extract reverts glycaemic imbalance and cognitive impairment in an animal model of obesity.

Researchers found that hop bitter acids from hops improved lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in obese mice, stabilizing glycemia levels and weight gain while enhancing antioxidant capacity and brain health. This suggests potential benefits for managing obesity-related complications and cognitive decline.
