Normal, groups: placebo, HCA of total 10 sedentary male under high-fat diet
1500 mg HCA daily
No significant effects on body weight gain, appetite-related, and plasma parameters but decreased fat deposition **Comments: suggest that (−)-HCA may reduce net fat deposition from de novo lipogenesis during weight gain
Significant () decrease in BMI, food intake, total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, and serum leptin levels, increase in high-density lipoprotein levels, and enhanced excretion of urinary fat metabolites (biomarker of fat oxidation, including malondialdehyde, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and acetone) in HCA and HCA-NBC-GSE groups
Obese, groups: placebo and treatment of total 50 F
3.45 g G. atroviridis
Significant reduction of body weight, BMI, body fat, lean body mass, and anthropometric parameters (biceps, subscapular, suprailiac crest skinfold thicknesses, and upper arm circumference) but no change of serum lipid profile
