Potency of tumeric (Curcuma longa L.) extract and curcumin as anti-obesity by inhibiting the cholesterol and triglycerides synthesis in HepG2 cells

Abstract: The accumulation of fat can be determined by measuring the balance of synthesis and degradation of fat. Lipogenesis includes the process of fatty acid synthesis and subsequent triglyceride synthesis in the liver and ABSTRACT Background: Adipocytes accumulate triacylglycerol when excessive food consumption. Adipocyte dysfunction plays an important role in the obesity development. People with a body weight 40 % heavier than the average body weight population at risk of death two times greater than the average bo… Show more

“…Its inhibitory action varies according to its concentration; doses of >0.05 g/100 g have already been shown to result in the reduction of liposynthesis. The expression of genes involved in energy metabolism is affected by turmeric, with a reduction in the accumulation of fat in blood and tissues and a decrease in intracellular levels of lipids (Alappat and Awad 2010;Budiman et al 2015).…”

“…14 Turmeric has antiadipogenesis potential by inhibiting the synthesis of triglycerides and cholesterol and inhibiting fat droplet formation in HepG2 cells. 15 Another study with human research subjects, acute coronary syndrome patients, were administrating by low doses of curcumin showed a trend of decreasing total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels. 16 Turmeric is a yellow spice with curcumin as its active ingredient.…”

“…The anti-adipogenesis potential of turmeric extract may be due to its ability to retard the formation of lipid droplets, triglycerides, and cholesterol in HepG2 cells. The turmeric extract showed better anti-obesity activity in comparison with curcumin [ 165 ]…”
