Melye-amiley

About Melye-amiley: 

• It is a traditional fermented bambooshoot variety of Tripura.
• It has anti-obesity effects and offers a solution to weight management and metabolic health,
• It reduces lipid accumulation and increases fatty acid β-oxidation.

Highlights of the research

• Based on in vitro cell culture studies the team has observed that a traditional fermented bamboo shoot variety of Tripura, called ‘Melye-amiley’ can reduce intracellular lipid accumulation.
• The process involved an increase in the expression of lipolytic (HSL, LPL, and Agtl) and fat browning regulator genes (UCP1, PRDM16, and PGC1-alpha).
• Furthermore, the study demonstrates that treatment with Melye-amiley leads to the upregulation of thermogenic protein expression via the AMPK signaling pathway.
• This process stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and enhances fatty acid β-oxidation, offering a multifaceted approach to weight management and metabolic health.
• These findings suggest that fermented bamboo shoot extract has promising anti-obesity effects by boosting energy expenditure in white adipocytes.
