Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the effects of ethanolic and aqueous extracts from a plant's bark on mice fed a high-fat diet and analyzed the extracts' chemical composition.
- The results indicated that while the aqueous extract had better antioxidant properties, neither extract significantly affected weight gain or fat accumulation, but they did decrease food intake.
- Additionally, the extracts increased leptin levels, which might promote feelings of fullness, but negatively impacted other inflammatory and hormonal markers, showing no effective treatment for diet-related metabolic issues.
