Bauhinia divaricata and Anti-Adipogenic Activity
2026-09-20
The 2023 Plants study evaluated Bauhinia divaricata extracts in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and combined antiadipogenic testing with chemical profiling. Its most meaningful contribution is the identification of Triacetin, glyceryl triacetate, and several additional metabolites in extracts that substantially reduced lipid accumulation without strong evidence of extract-related cytotoxicity.
