Betulinic Acid, a Natural Pentacyclic Triterpenoid, Prevents Abdominal Fat Accumulation in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

In the search for potential antiobese agents from natural sources, this study investigated the effects of betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpene from Clusia nemorosa L. (Clusiaceae), in mice on a high-fat diet (HFD). Adult male Swiss mice (n = 8) treated or not with BA (50 mg/L, in drinking w...
