1'-Acetoxychavicol acetate, a potent transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 agonist derived from Thai ginger, prevents visceral fat accumulation in mice fed with a high-fat and high-sucrose diet.
2021
1'-Acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) is found in Thai ginger (Alpinia galanga) and is a powerful agonist of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1). In a diet-induced obesity mouse model, ACA reduced fat deposition. Sympathetic nerve activation was also indicated in the ACA-fed group. This study is expected to promote the utilization of food containing TRPA1 agonists to treat obesity.
