Abstract
The characteristic taste of Eucommia leaf extract as the additive of a weight-loss and the constipation improvement is not associated with suppression of the feeding behavior of the fast rats with the extract
Highlights
Eucommia ulmoides Oliver is a tall, deciduous, dioecious tree comprised of one family, one genus, and one species endemic to the Sichuan region of China
We previously confirmed that rats consuming a high-fat (35% fat) diet (HFD) amended with 5% Eucommia leaf extract (ELE) reduced their daily food consumption by inactivation of locomotor activity relative to a control group fed a diet without ELE [10]
As a result of our water consumption experiment, we found that it is consistent with the result of food intake behavior by HFD-ELE-5% ingestion
Summary
Eucommia ulmoides Oliver is a tall, deciduous, dioecious tree comprised of one family, one genus, and one species endemic to the Sichuan region of China. E. ulmoides is very rare in the wild and since ancient times, its bark has been consumed in China from over 2000 years ago for a variety of medicinal purposes, including to provide a nutritional supplement, to relieve low back pain and fatigue in legs, to improve liver and renal functions, and to relieve hypertension [1]. Eucommia leaves are sometimes eaten and it has been reported that Eucommia decocted from tea leaves has an anti-hyperlipidemic effect that reduces visceral fat and reduces elevated triglycerides and cholesterols levels in the blood [2] These effects may be attributable to the ingredients contained in its leaves. One report indicates that ingestion of Eucommia leaf extract (ELE) decreases plasma and liver
