在日本，金鸡纳是一种常见的植物，作为日式甜点金鸡纳和金鸡纳的配料而闻名。在这项研究中，我们专注于葛花（葛花），并进行了一项临床试验，以调查葛花提取物（PFE）对肥胖的日本男性和女性（BMI >= 25 kg/m2）的影响。81名肥胖受试者被随机分为三组，并在12周内食用含有300 mg PFE，200 mg PFE和安慰剂的测试食物。结果表明，PFE摄入量降低BMI和减少，内脏脂肪面积，但不是皮下脂肪面积。此外，内脏脂肪面积的减少没有表现出性别二型性。因此，我们建议PFE摄入量通过减少内脏脂肪面积来表达其BMI降低效应。
In Japan, kudzu is a familiar plant, well-known as an ingredient in the Japanese-style confections kudzu-kiri and kudzu-mochi. In this study, we focused on the flower of kudzu (Pueraria thomsonii) and conducted a clinical trial to investigate the effects of Pueraria thomsonii flower extract (PFE) on obesity using obese Japanese males and females (BMI >= 25 kg/m(2)). Eighty-one obese subjects were randomly divided into three groups and consumed test food containing 300 mg of PFE, 200 mg of PFE, and a placebo over 12 weeks. The results indicate that PFE intake reduces BMI and decreases, the visceral fat area, but not the subcutaneous fat area. In addition, the decrease in visceral fat area showed no sexual dimorphism. Consequently, we propose that PFE intake expresses its BMI reduction effects via a decrease in visceral fat area.
