Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences: Bitter melon extract helps to lose weight

study, conducted jointly by Hefei University of Technology and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, shows that the
The ingredients extracted from
) seed oil may help the body lose weight. This bitter melon extract contains a wealth of conjugated linic acid (trans
-9
, shun

, shun
13-18:3
() and conjugated lining lining acid (trans
-9
, shun
11-18.2
), and animal studies show that the extract has an effective anti-obesity effect.in this study, using supercritical extraction techniques to propose bitter melon seed oil, the researchers found that
43%
of conjugated flaxic acid (
CLnA
) and
13%
conjugated lining acid (
CLA
). The researchers then randomly grouped mice on a high-fat diet with
0
grams,
1
grams,
5
grams or
10
grams
/
per kg (body weight) of bitter melon seed oil (
BMSO
) for
3
weeks. The study found that adding the bitter melon extract at a dose of
10
grams per kg of body weight in a high-fat diet significantly reduced the weight of the group compared to animals that only accepted a high-fat diet. However, the amount of additives in bitter melon extract is closely related to the reduction of obesity, and supplements below the standard dose do not have any effect. At the same time, the weight of the liver remains the same. In addition, bitter melon extract is also used in dietary supplements that are beneficial to blood sugar management.researchers believe that the weight loss effect of bitter melon extract is mainly due to bitter melon extract to enhance the metabolic role of lipid compounds in animals, leptin also plays an important role in the whole regulatory process. The study explores in detail the weight loss effects of bitter melon extracts and promotes the rational use of herbs to address the growing health problem of obesity.researchers also believe that a high-fat diet significantly lowers levels of free fatty acids
FFA
", which can hinder the breakdown of body fat, and that high-dose supplements
BMSO
alleviate the problem. Further, because the concentration of serum
FFA
, a product of the hydrolysis of triglycerides, is determined by lipid metabolism and oxidation rates, an increase in serum
FFA
also means an increase in lipid metabolism. Coupled with the constant energy loss, it can be inferred that energy consumption may regulate the
BMSO
's repair effect on energy imbalances caused by obesity.
