Results showed a significant reduction in visceral fat area (VFA) in the Oligonol group (from 98.2 \u00b1 30.3 cm\u00b2 to 95.1 \u00b1 29.6 cm\u00b2), while the placebo group saw an increase (95.4 \u00b1 31.8 cm\u00b2 to 98.6 \u00b1 33.1 cm\u00b2), leading to a net difference of 6.1 cm\u00b2. No meaningful changes were observed in total fat area, subcutaneous fat, fat mass, or other physical measures. Since diet and activity levels remained stable, the effect was attributed to Oligonol, which is thought to stimulate fat burning by enhancing mitochondrial \u03b2-oxidation through PPAR-alpha activation and lowering perilipin expression, thereby increasing lipolysis an effect more pronounced in visceral fat cells due to their higher mitochondrial content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstage.jst.go.jp\/article\/jnsv\/71\/4\/71_357\/_article\">https:\/\/www.jstage.jst.go.jp\/article\/jnsv\/71\/4\/71_357\/_article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 12-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial tested 200 mg\/day of Oligonol (lychee fruit extract) for its impact on abdominal fat.
