Pine needle extract decreases visceral fat mass

October 17th, 2006 | by David Spelts |

Pine needle extract decreased visceral fat mass and body weight. Lipid levels were also improved. It appears that pine needle extract may prevent some of the weight gain on high fat diets.

The mechanism appears to be related to gene expression. While certain people appear to be predisposed to obesity, some substances have the ability to either turn on or turn off these genes.
