A Systematic review and Meta-analysis efficacy of Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Markino on Blood glucose, lipid profile, blood pressure and anthropometric parameters
TLDR
This study suggests that G. pentaphyllum can be used as an alternative for glycemic control, however, the adverse side effect and safety should be concerned and a randomized control trial is still needed in order to confirm other clinical outcomes and safety.
Structural modulation of gut microbiota during alleviation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with Gynostemma pentaphyllum in rats
TLDR
GP maintained intestinal integrity and reversed gut dysbiosis in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD rats, which reduced the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes, enriching the abundance of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the Plenty of pathogenic bacteria in the gut.
Caco-2 Cell Permeability of Flavonoids and Saponins from Gynostemma pentaphyllum: the Immortal Herb
TLDR
This study predicts the potential oral bioavailability of nine dammarane saponins and five flavonol glycosides from G. pentaphyllum using the Caco-2 cell monolayer permeability model and indicates that a higher degree of glycosylation-facilitated permeability is suggestive of active transport.

APOE and CETP TaqIB polymorphisms influence metabolic responses to Hibiscus sabdariffa L. and Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino tea consumption in hypercholesterolemic subjects.
TLDR
Investigating the effects of HS and GP tea consumption on anthropometric data, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and lipid concentrations in hypercholesterolemia subjects with different genotypes of the APOE and CETP TaqIB polymorphisms concluded that HS consumption may have beneficial effects with respect to TG concentrations in the B2 carriers, but it may adversely affect HDL-C concentrations in homozygous B1B1 and E4 carriers.

TLDR
The improvement in glucose tolerance at 120 min by Gynostemma pentaphyllum in obese Zucker fatty rats but not lean rats suggests that it may improve insulin receptor sensitivity and together with the significant reduction of hypertriglyceridemia, cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol suggests that Gynstemma should be examined further by oral hypoglycemic/anti-hyperlipidemic therapy.
Does Glycine max leaves or Garcinia Cambogia promote weight-loss or lower plasma cholesterol in overweight individuals: a randomized control trial
TLDR
Ten weeks of EGML or GCE supplementation did not promote weight-loss or lower total cholesterol in overweight individuals consuming their habitual diet, although, EGML did increase plasma HDL-C levels which is associated with a lower risk of atherosclerosis.
High dose of Garcinia cambogia is effective in suppressing fat accumulation in developing male Zucker obese rats, but highly toxic to the testis.

TLDR
Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, in a dose of 50 mg three times a day leads to a significant increase in weight loss compared to placebo in moderately obese people and is tolerated very well, although a higher occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects is seen.
