Assessment of safety profile and anti-obesity effects of innovative plant-based food formulations in a zebrafish diet-induced obesity model (opens in new tab)

IntroductionObesity is a complex metabolic disorder associated with impaired glucose, lipid metabolism and excessive visceral fat accumulation. Therefore, the development of effective dietary strategies, including functional foods, has attracted increasing interest. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and the metabolic effects of three food formulations (F1, F2, and F3) using a zebrafish model.MethodsThe safety profile of the complex of active substances was assessed in zebrafish embryos ...
