Garcinia cambogia seems to promote weight reduction and improvement on lipid profile by its major compound, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), blocking ATP-citratelyase, potentially inhibiting lipogenesis. [] Key Method The women (BMI > 25 kg/m(2) ; age 25-60 years), divided in treated (n = 30) and control (n = 13) groups, received 2.4 g (800 mg 3×/day) of garcinia extract (50% of HCA) or placebo during 60 days, respectively, as well as dietary control.

Effect of (+) and (-) hydroxycitric acid sterio-isomers present in natural products in counteracting insulin resistance
TLDR
It is recommended to recommend the use of hibiscus over garcinia to overcome the adverse effects of metabolic syndrome and compare it to that of metformin.
Risks Associated with the Use of Garcinia as a Nutritional Complement to Lose Weight
TLDR
Garcinia-based supplements could be effective in short-term weight loss, although the data are not conclusive, and the safety of the complement should be further studied.

TLDR
Investigation of the effect of HCA on lipid and lipoproteins content in the blood serum, as well as lipid content and activity of some lipid metabolism enzymes in the liver of hamsters with IR found the treatment by HCA reduces the manifestations of hyperlipidemia, but enhances the lipid accumulation in the Liver.

Evaluation of the pharmacotherapeutic efficacy of Garcinia cambogia plus Amorphophallus konjac for the treatment of obesity
TLDR
Evaluating the pharmacotherapeutic efficacy of standardized extracts of G. cambogia plus A. konjac in the treatment of obesity suggests that the treatment had a significant hypocholesterolemic effect, without influencing the anthropometric or calorimetric parameters tested.
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.
Effects of (−)-hydroxycitric acid on appetitive variables
Chronic (-)-hydroxycitrate administration spares carbohydrate utilization and promotes lipid oxidation during exercise in mice.
TLDR
Chronic administration of HCA promotes lipid oxidation and spares carbohydrate utilization in mice at rest and during running, and the respiratory exchange ratio was significantly lower in the HCA group during both resting and exercising conditions.

Garcinia cambogia Extract Ameliorates Visceral Adiposity in C57BL/6J Mice Fed on a High-Fat Diet
TLDR
It is suggested that the Garcinia cambogia extract ameliorated HFD-induced obesity, probably by modulating multiple genes associated with adipogenesis, such as aP2, SREBP1c, PPARγ2, and C/EBPα in the visceral fat tissue of mice.
Brain Adipocytokine Action and Metabolic Regulation
TLDR
Adiponectin enhances fatty acid oxidation and insulin sensitivity, in part by stimulating AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation and activity in liver and muscle, and decreases body fat by increasing energy expenditure and lipid catabolism.
Adipokines and the peripheral and neural control of energy balance.
TLDR
There are distinct as well as common signaling pathways for adipokines in the brain and other organs that provide insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of obesity, diabetes and various metabolic disorders.

TLDR
Plasma leptin was a significant and independent predictor of recurrent cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke) in men with earlier acute coronary syndromes.
