Effect of soya saponins on gold thioglucose (GTG)-induced obesity in mice. 1986

Y Kawano-Takahashi, and H Ohminami, and H Okuda, and I Kitagawa, and M Yoshikawa, and S Arichi, and T Hayashi

The effect of oral administration of total soya saponins (TS) on the development of obesity induced by (GTG) injection was examined. In the GTG-obese group, the serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI) levels were significantly increased and food consumption was suggestively increased. In addition, sucrase activity in the intestinal mucosa was increased and the surface area of intestinal villi was significantly greater, suggesting enhanced gastrointestinal function. Oral administration of TS prevented development of obesity and prevented an increased level of IRI in GTG-obese animals. It also restored the sucrase activity and the surface area of intestinal villi to normal. Thus, TS may be effective in preventing development of obesity.

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
