Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the field of obesity and complications arising therefrom and in particular to the control of obesity by inhibiting adipogenesis and related processes.
Claims5
A method for inhibiting adipogenesis in a subject, said method comprising orally administering to said subject an effective amount of an adipogenesis regulator, said regulator of adipogenesis being a fraction of bovine whey comprising α-casein, κ-casein and/or lactoperoxidase wherein the adipogenesis regulator is obtained by a method comprising:
- subjecting the whey to a single multi-lectin fractionation, the lectins selected from concanavalin A, jacalin and wheat germ agglutinin,
- eluting bound glycoproteins and
- screening a fraction of eluant for an ability to inhibit maturation of mouse preadipocytes in vitro into mature adipocytes, wherein a fraction or a molecule in said fraction, which inhibits adipogenesis in vitro, is the regulator of adipogenesis.
