β-Sitosterol (Sit) has been used as a functional food additive. Among its many beneficial effects, this phytosterol plays a role in controlling obesity by inhibiting the adipogenesis process of pre-adipocytes. However, the highly lipophilic character of Sit limits its bioavailability. In the present
The whole plant of Stellaria media (family: Caryophyllaceae) has been tested for its antiobesity activity by using progesterone-induced obesity model in female albino mice. The effect of S. media on food consumption pattern, change in body weight, thermogenesis, lipid metabolism, and histology of
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
The type 1 cholecystokinin receptor (CCK1R) mediates the actions of CCK to support nutritional homeostasis, including post-cibal satiety. However, elevated levels of membrane cholesterol, such as have been observed in metabolic syndrome, interfere with CCK stimulus-activity coupling at the CCK1R,
Cynometra cauliflora Linn. belongs to the Fabaceae family and is known locally in Malaysia as nam-nam. Traditionally, a decoction of the C. cauliflora leaves is used for treating hyperlipidemia and diabetes.This study aims to investigate the anti-obesity Caralluma fimbriata extract has received Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status for use as a nutraceutical to combat the most serious public health concern (i.e., obesity). More than 260 species grouped under the genus Caralluma (Family Apocynaceae) are distributed in tropical Asia and
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), autoimmune disease that is categorized via chronic inflammation manifestation, obesity, cardiovascular risk and even enhanced the mortality and affect the 0.3 and 1% of population worldwide. The current experimental study was scrutinize the anti-arthritic effect of
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of risk factors that include insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The consumption of high-fructose diets contributes to the development of MetS. β-sitosterol a naturally occurring phytosterol possesses antiobesogenic and
OBJECTIVE
Nutrition seems to modify the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) effect symptomology in men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Although there are numerous pharmaceuticals and procedures for these conditions, nutrition may improve outcomes as a primary
BACKGROUND
Amaranthus spinosus Linn. (Amaranthaceae), commonly known as "spiny pigweed", is used both in the Indian traditional system and in folk medicine to treat diabetes.
OBJECTIVE
The present study evaluates the scientific basis of antidiabetic activity of chloroform fraction of methanol
OBJECTIVE
We examined the effect of serum markers of cholesterol synthesis and absorption on the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the randomized Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study (DPS). We also explored a possible interaction of ABCG8 rs4299376 on sterol levels and lifestyle
Obesity is one of serious health condition in the world which contributes too many of chronic diseases. The inhibition of pancreatic lipase is one of promising treatment of obesity problem. <p> Objective: The present study was designed to investigate anti-porcine pancreatic lipase effect of
Obesity is associated with increased systemic and airway oxidative stress, which may result from a combination of adipokine imbalance and antioxidant defenses reduction. Obesity-mediated oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of dyslipidemia, vascular disease, and nonalcoholic
Overweight and obesity is a growing global health concern. Current management of obesity includes lifestyle intervention, bariatric surgery and medication. The serotonin receptor, 5-HT2C, is known to mediate satiety, appetite and consumption behaviour. Lorcaserin, an appetite control drug, has
Background: Changes in cholesterol absorption and cholesterol synthesis may promote dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Objective:
