Greetings once
again to my blog on resveratrol. Here I
review articles published in medical journals on current research into the
effects and benefits of resveratrol.
The article for
this blog is on Lowering Body Fat,
from the Institute of Carlos III in Vitoria, Spain. There they fed rats a diet designed to
promote obesity. Half the rats were also
fed resveratrol and the other rats not for six weeks. Several chemical changes involved in loss of
body fat were measured in muscle tissue and fat tissue. The resveratrol group had higher levels of
chemicals that increase thermogenesis.
This is the production of heat from muscle and fat cells and is involved
in fat loss and thus weight loss. This
may be part of the mechanism explaining why rats on high fat diets lose body
fat through thermogenesis. Regardless of
the reason, rats on high fat diet and Resveratrol lose weight.
Resveratrol may be something to consider adding to your diet if you are on a weight loss or weight management program.
