Article Synopsis
- α-Mangosteen (α-MG) was studied for its potential to reduce liver problems associated with insulin resistance (IR) in rats that were fed a high-fat/high-glucose diet and given a diabetes-inducing injection.
- The research showed that α-MG significantly decreased liver enzymes, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels, while also reducing inflammation and improving liver tissue health.
- The beneficial effects of α-MG were linked to the activation of the AMPK pathway and suppression of the SREBP-1c and ACC proteins, suggesting it could be a promising treatment to combat liver issues related to insulin resistance.
