kahweol/obesity

The coffee diterpene kahweol may contribute to the anti-obesity effects of coffee, but its physiological effects have yet to be elucidated. Caenorhabditis elegans is used as an animal model in obesity research because its lipid metabolism is conserved in humans. The goal was to investigate

Kahweol, a compound from Coffea arabica, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumour properties. However, an anti-adipogenic effect has not yet been reported. In this study, we have shown that kahweol has an anti-adipogenic effect on 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Kahweol significantly inhibited

Weight loss ≥ 5 percent is sufficient to significantly reduce health risks for obese people; therefore, development of novel weight loss compounds with reduced toxicity is urgently required. After screening of natural compounds with antiadipogenesis properties in 3T3-L1 cells, we determined that

Coffee consumption is associated with reduced risk of metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes, which may be related to the effects of coffee and its bioactive components on lipid metabolism. Coffee contains caffeine, a known neuromodulator that acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist, as well as
