Antihyperlipidemic effect of Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim) Harms leaves in high‐fat‐diet fed mice

Acanthopanax senticosus leaves significantly decreased plasma triglycerides in mice fed a high-fat diet.

• Mice treated with Acanthopanax senticosus leaves showed enhanced activity of an enzyme involved in fat breakdown.
• The study suggests that these leaves may improve abnormal lipid metabolism.
• Increased mitochondrial fatty acid breakdown is associated with the observed reduction in triglyceride levels.
• The findings indicate a potential role for Acanthopanax senticosus leaves in preventing metabolic syndrome.
