METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS USING IRVINGIA GABONENSIS TO REDUCE WEIGHT, CONTROL OBESITY, EFFECT ADIPOGENESIS, LOWER PPAR-GAMMA, LEPTIN, G3PDH AND TRIGLYC-ERIDES LEVELS AND INCREASE ADIPONECTIN LEVELS

摘要

In one embodiment, a method is provided for lowering PPAR-Gamma in a mammal. The method comprises administering a composition containing an effective amount of Irvingia gabonensis seed to a mammal to reduce PPAR-Gamma levels in the mammal. In other embodiments, among other things, methods are provided for reducing triglyceride levels, inhibiting or reducing G3PDH activity, reducing body weight and increasing adiponectin levels in a mammal by administering Irvingia gabonensis.
