Gold nanoparticles synthesized with Poria cocos modulates the anti-obesity parameters in high-fat diet and streptozotocin induced obese diabetes rat model

Efficient and fast degradation of 4-nitrophenol and detection of Fe(III) ions by Poria cocos extract stabilized silver nanoparticles

“…Therefore, among organic compounds extracted from PC fungus, polysaccharides may play the most important role in the transformation of silver ions into respective AgNPs. The extract from PC fungus has been successfully utilized to bio-fabricate gold nanoparticles for the anti-obesity in a high-fat diet (Li et al, 2020). To our knowledge, the PC extract-mediated biosynthesis of AgNPs for colorimetric sensing and catalytic application is not much explored.…”

Gold nanoclusters eliminate obesity induced by antipsychotics

“…The above treatment was last for 21 days. Food intake was measured every 24 h and weight gain was measured every 48 h. After the last treatment, rats were euthanized by fast CO 2 infusion 32 . The plasma was collected and stored in – 80 °C.…”

“…Emerging data suggested that gold nanoparticles hold great potential for biomedical application as anti-obese drug. It has been reported that gold nanoparticles effectively prevented and treated high-fat diet induced obesity and reversed the corresponding glucose metabolic disorder in rodents 32 , 33 . Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), an ultra-small gold nanoparticle with dimeter small than 3 nm, have been widely studied in bioimaging 34 , bioassays 35 , 36 and treatments of diseases 37 – 39 , etc.…”

Natural Dietary and Medicinal Plants with Anti-Obesity Therapeutics Activities for Treatment and Prevention of Obesity during Lock Down and in Post-COVID-19 Era

“…Crataegus pubescens and Ocimum sanctum ameliorated obesity and hyperglycemia in obese rats, reduced adipocyte hypertrophy, and can be introduced as ingredients for the elaboration of functional beverages [129]. The saprophytic fungus belongs to the family polyporaceae, Poria cocos, and synthesized Poria cocos gold nanoparticles caused the distinctions of influential nanoparticles which proved its ability as the potent anti-obesity drug [130]. Hussein et al [131] reported that green coffee bean aqueous extracts and Spirulina platensis reduced liver weight, the final body weight, and the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphate, and they can be potentially considered as anti-obesity substances.…”
