摘要:
A Fraxinus excelsior seed extract that can be administered for therapeutic treatment of a subject, including a human, by blocking fat synthesis, activating PPAR-alpha, increasing hypoglycemic activity, reducing bodyweight, controlling fasting plasma insulin levels against hyperinsulinemia, and promoting insulin sensitivity and causing a beneficial acute insulinotropic effect. The Fraxinus excelsior seed extract includes, inter alia, an isolated compound (2S,3E,4S)2H-Pyran-4-acetic acid-3-ethylidene-2-[(6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-3,4-dihydro-5-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl ester, commonly called excelside A, an isolated compound (2S,3E,4S) 2H-Pyran-4-acetic acid-3-ethylidene-2-[(6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-3,4-dihydro-5-(methoxycarbonyl)2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl ester, commonly called excelside B, and the compounds GI5, GI3, nuzhenide, and oleoside dimethyl ester.
摘要:
A method of controlling body weight in humans by administering an amount of decaffeinated green coffee extract effective to treat a subject. A preferred green coffee extract contains a ratio of 4-caffeoylquinic acid (4-CQA) to total chlorogenic acids (tCGA) (5-CQA/tCGA) of from about 0.1 to about 0.2. More preferably, the green coffee extract comprises from about 6% to about 8% of 4-caffeoylquinic acid and has a total chlorogenic acid concentration that exceeds about 45%. A preferred method of administration consists of administering the green coffee extracts is a dosage of about 200 mg twice a day prior to meals on an empty stomach.
摘要:
A method of enhancing physical performance during exercise by administering an amount of a grape extract effective to treat a subject. A preferred grape extract comprises a concentration of flavanol monomers of greater than about 5% by weight, and more preferably within a range from about 12% by weight to about 50% by weight, and a concentration of flavanol dimers preferably greater than about 2% by weight, and more preferably within a range from about 6% by weight to about 20% by weight. The flavanol monomers preferably include catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and gallic acid. The flavanol dimers preferably include procyanidin B1, procyanidin B2, procyanidin B3, procyanidin B4, and procyanidin B2-O-gallate.
