Reduction of Adipose Tissue and Body Weight: Effect of Water Soluble Calcium Hydroxycitrate in Garcinia Atroviridis on the Short Term Treatment of Obese Women in Thailand
藤黃果中水溶性烴化檸檬酸鈣對泰國肥胖女性的短期治療效果：脂肪組織與體重的降低
摘要
Fifty obese women with a body mass index (BMI) over 25 kg/m^2 were randomly allocated into two groups, 25 in each. Group 1, with a mean (±SEM) age of 40.0±2 years, received water soluble calcium hydroxycitrate (HCA) as Garcinia atroviridis. Group 2, with a mean age of 35.6±1.8 years, received placebo. All subjects were recommended a similar diet with 1000 Kcal/day. The trial lasted for 2 months. At baseline the means BMI of Group 1 and Group 2 were 27.5±0.2 kg.m^-2 and 26.7±0.5 kg.m^-2, respectively. Group 1 lost significantly more weight (2.8 vs. 1.4 kg, p＜0.05) and at a greater rate than Group 2 throughout the study. The decrease in their body weight was due to a loss of fat storage as evidenced by a significant decrease in the triceps skin fold thickness. On a short-term basis, HCA in Garcinia atroviridis was an effective for weight management.
