Investigation of calonysterone and 20-hydroxyecdysone effects in high-fat, high-sugar diet-induced obesity rat model by Alaa AM. Osman, Dávid Laczkó, Máté Vágvölgyi, Adrienn Seres-Bokor, Anita Sztojkov-Ivanov, Kata Kira Kemény, Attila Hunyadi, Eszter Ducza

“…Drug therapy is often not possible or cannot be afforded due to poor patient compliance or therapeutic side effects.20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) is a worldwide used ‘green anabolic’ dietary supplement that has beneficial effects in some animal models of metabolic diseases. Our ongoing research examines the impacts of 20E and calonysterone (CAL) in an animal model with a diet high in fats and sugars (HFHSD).Glucose tolerance tests assessed prediabetic status and RT-PCR and Western blot analysis determined interleukin-6 (IL6) expression. …”
