A recent study published in the journal Food Frontiers has revealed that an extract from a traditional fermented bamboo shoot variety from Tripura, known as 'Melye-amiley,' demonstrates anti-obesity properties.
About Melye-amiley
Origin - 'Melye-amiley' is a traditional fermented bamboo shoot from Tripura.
Health Benefits - It has shown potential in managing obesity and improving metabolic health.
Mechanism - The extract helps reduce fat accumulation and enhances the breakdown of fatty acids.
Key Findings From Study
Cell Culture Studies - In vitro research revealed that 'Melye-amiley' extract can reduce lipid buildup within cells.
Gene Expression - The study found that the extract increases the activity of genes responsible for fat breakdown (HSL, LPL, and Agtl) and those that regulate fat cell transformation (UCP1, PRDM16, and PGC1-alpha).
Thermogenesis - Treatment with the bamboo shoot extract upregulated the expression of thermogenic proteins through the AMPK signaling pathway. This, in turn, promoted mitochondrial production and increased fatty acid breakdown.
Overall Impact - These findings suggest that 'Melye-amiley' could play a role in managing obesity by enhancing energy expenditure in white adipose tissue.
The study highlights the potential of this fermented bamboo shoot extract as an effective, natural option for weight management and improved metabolic health.
