Tibetan Plant Worm Can Regulate Cholesterol Metabolism, NOEVIR Confirms

Tokyo (JCN) - NOEVIR announced on August 18 that it has identified a unique property of cordyceps sinensis saccardo, a plant worm native to Tibet.


In its recent experiments using rats and human white adipocytes, the company confirmed that extracts of the plant worm can promote the production of adiponectin, a kind of protein that helps promote fat-burning activities and inhibit the development of lifestyle-related diseases.


Consequently, NOEVIR has concluded that the extracts have potential to prevent and improve lifestyle-related diseases. The company plans to apply these findings to the development of dietary supplement products.


Details of the research is to be presented at the 22th Annual Meeting of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Society for WAKAN-YAKU to be held in Tokyo on August 20 and 21.
