Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluated the effects of a natural extract combined from Lippia citriodora and Hibiscus sabdariffa (LcHs) on appetite regulation in overweight and obese individuals over 8 weeks, using a randomized, double-blind crossover trial.
  • Results showed that participants taking LcHs experienced reduced hunger sensations and increased satiety compared to placebo, along with lower energy intake and a higher satiety quotient, indicating improved appetite control.
  • Blood and biochemical analyses revealed changes in appetite-related hormones like leptin, with safety parameters remaining stable, suggesting LcHs may help manage appetite and weight without adverse effects.

Hoy discutieron este RCT en seminario y me pareció interesante. Consumo de polifenoles redujo sensación de apetito y alteró hormonas que regulan apetito y saciedad, lo que se disminuyó ingesta calórica. Coman muchas plantas. Hay mil razones.
