Amorphophallus konjac root extract

09/21/2005 - "Compared with the native konjac flour, the 4 h milled konjac flour could significantly decrease the body weight and total wet weight of fat of nutritional obese rats (P < 0.05) and also decreased the contents of triglyceride, glucose, and high-density lipoprotein in blood of nutritional obese rat significantly (P < 0.05), which meant the grain-size effect of konjac flour improved its antiobesity activity notably."

01/01/2022 - "Moreover, konjac flour could also evidently increase the abundance of some of the beneficial microorganisms related to obesity of patients, such as Lachnospiraceae, Roseburia, Solobacterium, R. "
01/01/2019 - "The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional effects of konjac flour (KF) on obesity control in respect to improving inflammation, metabolism, and intestinal barrier function, and the possible association of the effects with intestinal flora composition changes. "
02/01/2013 - "Konjac glucomannan (KGM), the main biologically active constituent of konjac flour extracted from corms of Amorphophallus konjac (konjac), has potential to be used as a nutraceutical (satiety agent) to combat obesity. "

01/03/2023 - "Our previous study found dietary konjac flour (KF) supplementation could improve insulin sensitivity and reproductive performance of sows, but its high price limits its application in actual production. "

01/03/2023 - "This study investigated the impact of 2% konjac flour (KF) and 2% combined dietary fiber (CDF, containing 15% KF, 60% bamboo shoots fiber, and 25% alginate fiber) supplementation from the last 50 days of gestation to farrowing on farrowing performance, placental function, insulin sensitivity, and gut microbiota of gilts. "

12/26/1997 - "The results of this study indicate that respiratory hypersensitivity to food grade konjac flour can be induced in guinea pigs following repeated inhalation exposure. "
12/26/1997 - "This study was conducted to investigate whether exposure to food grade konjac flour, which is the end product of the manufacturing process, could produce respiratory hypersensitivity using an animal bioassay developed by Karol et al. (Karol, Y., Ioset, H.H., Riley, E.J., Alarie, Y.C., 1978. "
