Nimbin analogs N5 and N7 regulate the expression of lipid metabolic genes and inhibit lipid accumulation in high-fat diet-induced zebrafish larvae: An antihyperlipidemic study.

Background: Excess accumulation of lipids leads to obesity. Triterpenoids are a group of plant compounds which poses various biological activities. The biological activities of Nimbin analogs N5 and N7 were addressed in this study on inhibiting lipid aggregation and underlying the derivatives molecular mechanisms for a therapeutical approach.
