Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 16
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity or overweight is the most common problem faced by millions of people in this world today. Obesity is a chronic inflammatory lifestyle related disorder that increases the preponderance for many illnesses like coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer etc. Calorie restriction has been shown to reduce weight in obese individuals and confer health benefits. Triterpenoids have hypolipidaemic, anti-obesity, anti-hyperglycaemic and anti-cancerous effect. In this study, we will evaluate the use of lemon seeds rich in triterpenoids on inflammatory markers in subjects with obesity undergoing calorie restriction. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomised controlled study was conducted on 30 subjects of age between 20 - 60 years for a period of 7 days; were studied by dividing them into two groups; 15 subjects each in intervention and control group respectively. RESULTS All the parameters were compared between 2 groups. After giving lemon seeds Hs-CRP, TG, VLDL, BMI, Weight, WC, HC and WHR had decreased when compared to control group. HDL levels had reduced in both groups. CONCLUSION This study states that lemon seeds extraction, which is rich in triterpenoids is more effective than lemon juice which is rich in vitamin-C.
