There is one clinical trial.
To investigate the metabolic benefits of bitter melon seed oil (BMSO), overweight or obese healthy Taiwanese adults (n=60) were randomly assigned to receive capsules containing either olive oil (OO; placebo) or BMSO at 4.5 g/d dose for 12 week. Across intervention period, body weight, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat mass were measured. Blood were collected before and after intervention for measurements of blood lipid and inflammatory cytokines. The anti-obesity effect of BMSO was further assessed by stratification of participants according to UCP1 rs1800592 polymorphism.
The anti-obesity effect of BMSO was further assessed by stratification of participants according to UCP1 rs1800592 polymorphism.
Considering UCP-1 played a pivotal role in anti-adiposity function of BMSO as demonstrated in animal studies, the anti-obesity effect of BMSO was further assessed according to UCP1 rs1800592 polymorphism.
