In vivo anti-obesity effects of Monascus pigment threonine derivative with enhanced hydrophilicity
The hydrophobicity and anti-obesity characteristics of the threonine (Thr) derivative of Monascus pigment were determined and compared with 2-(p-tolyl)-ethylamine (TEA) and tryptophan (Trp) derivatives of the same. Treatment by all three derivatives decreased body weight gain, epididymal fat weight,...
