Wild bitter gourd increased metabolic rate and up-regulated genes related to mitochondria biogenesis and UCP-1 in mice
The effects of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia, BG) on metabolic rate, mRNA expressions of UCP-1, genes related to mitochondria biogenesis and glucose homeostasis were investigated. C57BL/6J male mice were fed modified AIN-93G diets supplemented without (the Basal group) or with 5% (w/w) lyophiliz...
