Effects of xanthohumol on metabolic syndrome and related disorders:
Metabolic syndrome refers to a common group of disorders and risk factors such as elevated sugar levels, abdominal fatness, elevated cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Studies have shown that Xanthohumol has a beneficial effect in alleviating and slowing down the development of some of the symptoms of metabolic syndrome.
Xanthohumol affects the formation of adipose tissue by inhibiting adipogenesis (the formation of new fat cells). This effect is caused by stopping the differentiation of preadipocytes.
In cases of high-fat diets, consumption of xanthohumol prevented excessive weight gain.
At the same time, researchers found improved glucose metabolism and reduced levels of inflammatory markers.
