Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention discloses a composition comprising Cyperus rotundus extract and Passiflora edulis extract comprising piceatannol, scirpusin B, scirpusin A, cyperusphenol A and cyperusphenol B, standardized to contain 6-10% w/w total stilbenes. The invention also discloses the use of the above mentioned composition in enhancing energy expenditure in mammalian adipose cellular systems by the conversion of white adipose tissues to brown adipose tissues, inhibition of adipogenesis and for preventing weight gain in mammals.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of enhancing energy expenditure in adipose cellular systems of a mammal, said method comprising a) identifying a mammal requiring increase in energy expenditure, and b) administering a composition comprising Cyperus rotundus extract and Passiflora edulis extract comprising Piceatannol, Scirpusin B, Scirpusin A, Cyperusphenol A and Cyperusphenol B, standardized to contain 6-10% w/w total stilbenes to achieve effects of (a) increased expression of PRDM16, PGC-1α and BMP7, (b) induce brown or beige or brite phenotype in white adipocyte depots, or (c) induce enhanced expression of mitochondrial uncoupling protein-1 to result in increased mitochondrial thermogenesis in differentiated brown adipocytes and beige or brite adipocytes. 2. The method as in claim 1 , wherein mammals requiring enhanced energy expenditure is-selected from the group consisting of mammals in need of cold thermogenesis and increased endurance during physical activity and mammals with obesity. 3. A method of inhibition of adipogenesis in mammalian cellular systems, said method comprising step of bringing into contact mammalian adipocytes with a composition comprising Cyperus rotundus extract and Passiflora edulis extract comprising Piceatannol, Scirpusin B, Scirpusin A, Cyperusphenol A and Cyperusphenol B, standardized to contain 6-10% w/w total stilbenes to bring about inhibition in adipogenesis.
