We investigated the effects of the oral administration of lophenol (Lo) and cycloartanol (Cy), two kinds of antidiabetic phytosterol isolated from Aloe vera , on glucose and lipid metabolism in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. We demonstrated that the administrations of Lo and Cy suppressed random
Obesity is now a worldwide health problem. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a gut hormone that is secreted following the ingestion of food and modulates energy metabolism. Previous studies reported that lowering diet-induced GIP secretion improved energy homeostasis in animals
Lophenol (Lo) and cycloartanol (Cy), minor phytosterols of Aloe vera gel, were previously identified as anti-diabetic compounds, and these compounds also reduced body fat in a type 2 diabetic model animal. In this study, we investigated the effects of Lo and Cy on peroxisome proliferator activated
CONCLUSIONS
We examined the effects of lophenol (Lo) and cycloartanol (Cy), minor phytosterols of Aloe vera gel, in obese animal model of type II diabetes, Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. Male ZDF rats were administered Lo and Cy at 25 μg/(kg day) daily for 44 days. Consecutive treatment of
