• Abstract

  Obesity is a chronic disease which has been associated to a high incidence of metabolic changes. Taking into consideration the risks of obesity-related disorders, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, the development of an efficient and easy access therapy is highly desirable. Studies from our laboratory have shown that obese mice treated with standardized Ginkgo biloba extract (G…

  Investigation of potential mechanisms of action of standardized Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) involved in the improvement of diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance, AP.R

• Abstract

  Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) has been pointed as an efficient medicine for diabetes mellitus type 2 treatment. It remains unclear whether its effects are due to an improvement of insulin signaling cascade, especially in obese subjects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of GbE on insulin tolerance, food intake, body adiposity, lipid profile, fasting insulin and muscle …

• Abstract

  Obesity is considered an epidemic that aggregates multiple metabolic complications that cause reduction in the quality of life and its expectancy. Among these complications, there is a non-alcoholic liver disease, which mainly involves steatosis and cirrhosis resulting from the inflammatory process. The development of an efficient therapy of easy availability, low cost and good acceptance…

• Abstract

  The hypothalamus is the region of the central nervous system (CNS) which integrates multiple signals involved in the regulation of food intake. The homeostatic regulation of the energy balance and body nutrients is influenced by hedonic aspects linked to food pleasure, which is affected by the increased consumption of high energy density and fat enriched palatable food. It is well recogni…
