Daily Consumption of Golden Berry (Physalis peruviana) Has Been Shown to Halt the Progression of Insulin Resistance and Obesity in Obese Rats with Metabolic Syndrome.

Golden Berry consumption in obese, hyperglycemic rats led to reduced body weight, improved blood glucose levels, and modulation of urinary biomarkers, suggesting its potential for managing chronic diseases.

The "crosstalk" between microbiota and metabolomic profile in high-fat-diet-induced obese mice supplemented with Bletilla striata polysaccharides and composite polysaccharides.

Bletilla striata polysaccharides (BSP) reduced weight gain in obese mice on a high-fat diet, as well as improving gut microbiota and metabolomic profile. BSP could be a potential treatment for obesity.

Chaenomeles sinensis (Thouin) Koehne fruit polyphenols alleviate high-fat diet-induced obesity and liver steatosis by improving lipid metabolism in mice.

CSFP from Chaenomeles sinensis fruit reduces body weight gain, triglycerides, and cholesterol in mice on a high-fat diet by modulating lipid metabolism pathways. This suggests potential health benefits for humans.

Response surface methodology based development of an optimized polyherbal formulation and evaluation of its anti-diabetic and anti-obesity potential in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

Researchers created a mix of edible seeds to test its effect on diabetes and obesity in mice. The results could potentially help develop a new treatment for these conditions.

Exploration of neuroprotective effect from Coriandrum sativum L. ethanolic seeds extracts on brain of obese rats.

Coriander seed extract was given to obese rats for 12 weeks. It reduced oxidative stress and cellular senescence markers, while increasing antioxidants. It could be a neuroprotective agent.
