Coix Sprouts Affect Triglyceride Metabolism in Huh7 Cells and High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice.

L. Stapf sprouts (CS) can help reduce obesity by activating the enzyme ATGL and inhibiting enzymes involved in fat synthesis. CS treatment decreased intracellular fat levels, body weight gain, and improved lipid profiles in mice. CS have potential as an anti-obesity agent.

Diet-Induced Rodent Obesity Is Prevented and the Fecal Microbiome Is Improved with Elderberry (Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis) Juice Powder.

Elderberry juice powder reduces diet-induced obesity in mice by altering the fecal microbiome, promoting physical activity, and increasing phenolic metabolite absorption. This can potentially be a natural and effective way to prevent obesity.
