Abstract

Adipose tissue controls energy homeostasis. Adipocytes secrete hormones and inflammation-related adipokines in addition to storing fat. Green seaweeds are a typical dietary element in Eastern Asian nations like India. They are rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibre, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and bioactive compounds. This study examined Ulva lactuca extract's influence on hormones and anti-inflammatory markers in fructose-fed rats. High fructose-fed rats had elevated blood leptin, IL-6, TNF-, and decreased adiponectin and ghrelin. Ulva lactuca extract improved leptin, IL-6, TNF-, adiponectin, and ghrelin in obese rats. Ulva lactuca may restore adipose tissue function owing to saponin, steroids, alkaloids, polyphenol, and glycoside
