| Research Abstract |
Kaempferia parviflora (KP), a Zingiberaceae plant, showed the preventive effects on metabolic diseases, including anti-obesity and improvement of insulin-resistance in spontaneously obese type II diabetic mice. Polymethoxylflavones, included in KP, enhanced the differentiation of adipocytes in vitro, suggesting that KP directly affected to adipocytes and improved insulin-resistance. In is concluded that KP is promising as a seed compound for developing therapeutic medicines or food for specified health use (FOSHU) for metabolic diseases.
