Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2019 Apr;83(4):747-750. doi: 10.1080/09168451.2018.1559721. Epub 2018 Dec 22.

Abstract

Six-week-old male KK-Ay mice received drinking water with S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), α-glycerophosphocholine (GPC), or SAM+GPC for 10 weeks. The serum glucose of SAM+GPC at 15 weeks old, total cholesterol of GPC at 12 weeks old, and triglyceride of GPC at 15 weeks old and of SAM at 16 weeks old were reduced. SAM+GPC reduced serum leptin and food intake. Abbreviations: SAM: S-adenosylmethionine; GPC: α-glycerophosphocholine.

Keywords: -adenosylmethionine; KK-A mouse; leptin; α-glycerophosphocholine.
