Anti-obesity, slimming, biochemical and genotoxic effects of Cordia ecalyculata in diet-induced obese rats.
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum. Technologia Alimentaria 2022 January
BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity are associated with deaths and diseases worldwide. Cordia ecalyculata is a plant marketed as a slimmer.
METHODS: The study evaluated the anti-obesity effects of the dry extract from C. ecalyculata in rats fed with a standard diet (STD) or cafeteria diet (CD) receiving the dry extract from C. ecalyculata at 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg for 40 days. Furthermore, it evaluated the slimming effect on diet-induced obese rats by the treatment with the same doses for 30 days. The bodyweight of the rats, as well as the intake of food, was measured. Blood samples were collected to determine the liver function (albumin, alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glucose), renal function (urea and creatinine), and lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides).
RESULTS: The genotoxic effect in peripheral blood was assessed through the comet assay. A lower C. ecalyculata dose significantly prevented the weight gain in rats fed with STD and CD and decreased body weight and intake food of obese rats. The biochemical parameters were not altered, except to increase the serum albumin. Only the higher dose induced DNA damage when evaluated in rats fed with CD in the slimming evaluation model used.
CONCLUSIONS: These results reinforce the extract as an anti-obesity and slimming supplement.
