Adipose tissue is a multifunctional organ involved in many physiological and metabolic
processes through the production of adipokines and, in particular, adiponectin. Caloric …

In this study, novel Poria cocos oligosaccharides (PCO) were prepared by enzymatic
degradation, and their polymerization degree was determined to be 2–6 by LC-MS analysis …

Objective—Accumulating evidence indicates that the regimen to increase adiponectin will
provide a novel therapeutic strategy for metabolic syndrome. Here, we tested the effect of a …

Objective: This study is to evaluate the anti-obese effects of glucosamine (GLC) and
chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) on high-fat diet-induced obese rats. Methods: The rats were …

Adiponectin secreted from adipocytes is an anti-diabetic and anti-atherogenic adipokine.
Adiponectin level is known to fall significantly in obesity induced type 2 diabetes which …

Objective: We applied a comparative functional genomics approach to evaluate whether diet‐
induced obese (DIO) rats serve as an effective obesity model. Methods and Procedures …

Objective In this study, the structure of Pleurotus eryngii polysaccharides (PEPs) was
characterized, and the mechanism of PEP on obesity and hyperlipidemia induced by high …

Obesity is recognized as an epidemic health problem worldwide. In humans, the
accumulation of omental rather than subcutaneous fat appears to be tightly linked to insulin …

Obesity is a chronic disease that is associated with significantly increased levels of risk of a
number of metabolic disorders. Despite these enhanced health risks, the worldwide …

Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) play a prebiotic role in many ways, whereas its function on
microbiota is not fully understood. In this study, the effects of COS on metabolic syndrome …
