Abstract:Some thermal degradants of curcuminoids have demonstrated moderate health benefits in previous studies. Feruloyl acetone (FER), recently identified as a thermal degradant of curcumin, has been previously associated with anticancer and antioxidative effects, yet its other capabilities remain unexplored. Moreover, earlier reports suggest that methoxy groups on the aromatic ring may influence the functionality of the curcuminoids. To address these gaps, an animal study was conducted to investigate the antiobesity… Show more
