Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The effects of the Astragalus and Notoginseng extrats on obesity control was demonstrated in a randomized double-blind, and crossover human trial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Obesity refers to the body due to physiological or biochemical function of the change caused by excessive accumulation of body fat, resulting in weight gain. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Astragalus and Notoginseng extrats on obesity control by a randomized double-blind and crossover human trial. Subjects with simple obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27 or body fat ≥ 30%) ingested 5 extrats (n = 19) capsules or placebo (n = 19) perday for 12 weeks of a stage. Anthropometric measurements (body weight, body fat, blood pressure) and blood biochemical markers including fasting blood glucose (FBG), albumin, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), HDL-C, LDL-C, creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), AST, ALT were examined every six weeks.
