Hesperidin and Capsaicin, But Not The Combination, Prevent Hepatic Steatosis and Other Metabolic Syndrome-Related Alterations in Western Diet-Fed Rats
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-10)
We aimed to assess the potential effects of hesperidin and capsaicin, independently and in combination, to prevent the development of obesity and its related metabolic alterations in rats fed an obesogenic diet. Three-month-old ...
Metabolic Effects of Oral Phenelzine Treatment on High-Sucrose-Drinking Mice
(MDPI, 2018-10)
Phenelzine has been suggested to have an antiobesity effect by inhibiting de novo lipogenesis, which led us to investigate the metabolic effects of oral chronic phenelzine treatment in high-sucrose-drinking mice. ...
