In-Vitro and In-Vivo Anti-Adipogenecity Activity of Two Plants using Rat Models
Abstract: This study examines how extracts of plant affect the dyslipidaemic state of fatty acid induced rats. Eight days following induction for differentiation with C-DMEM and simultaneously tested with the extracts of plant (day 8), our study found significantly reduced (p < 0.05) intracellular lipid accumulations in white muscle cells in the rats. This compared positively against the smaller reduction in accumulation found in the standard drug streptozotosin (STZ). This suppressing …
