Study on the Effect of Gardenia Extract on Abnormal Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
In this study,db/db mouse model was used to explore whether gardenia extract could improve abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism,aiming to provide a scientific basis for gardenia extract as a raw material for precise dietary nutrition and dietary intervention.The results showed that compared with the model control group,the body weight,fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels of mice in the low and high dose groups of gardenia extract were significantly decreased,and the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly increased.At the same time,gardenia extract can effectively improve the levels of alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,reactive oxygen species,superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the liver of db/db mice,indicating that it can effectively alleviate liver damage and oxidative stress levels.This study shows that gardenia extract has the effect of interfering with abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism.
