“Thylakoid-rich spinach extract supplementation with a low-calorie diet increased serum levels of omentin-1 (10.90 vs. 3.87 ng/L; p < .001) and decreased fat mass (-5.19 vs. -1.35 kg; p < .001) and serum levels of neopterin (-0.66 vs. -0.38 nmol/L; p = .003) and chemerin (-41.24 vs. -11.26 ng/L; p < .001) in the thylakoid group compared to the placebo group.”
Quoted verbatim from Changes of body composition and circulating neopterin, omentin-1, and chemerin in response to thylakoid-rich spinach extract with a hypocaloric diet in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A randomized controlled trial.
