α-Cyclodextrin

SKU: orb1940683

Description

Alfadex is a soluble fiber derived from corn and has beneficial effects on weight management in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes.(In Vivo):Alfadex preferentially reduces blood levels of saturated and trans fats in the LDL receptor knockout mice. Two independent in vivo biological test systems were used, a single cell Xenopus oocyte with expressed human aquaporin for cell hydration studies and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans for testing life span in the treated animals. Alfadex was found to enhance water uptake through aquaporins of oocytes. Furthermore, Alfadex promoted longevity in C. elegans.
