The effect of Aloe vera juice and acemannan on postprandial lipemic, antioxidant, and inflammatory response in high-fat meal fed overweight/obese men: A randomized crossover-controlled study

This study investigated the impact of Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) juice with acemannan on postprandial metabolic markers, antioxidant status, inflammatory responses, and appetite in overweight/obese men following high-fat (HF) meal consumption. In a randomized crossover trial with 16 partici...

description This study investigated the impact of Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) juice with acemannan on postprandial metabolic markers, antioxidant status, inflammatory responses, and appetite in overweight/obese men following high-fat (HF) meal consumption. In a randomized crossover trial with 16 participants, four meal conditions were tested: (1) HF meal, (2) HF meal with A. vera juice (350 mL), (3) HF meal with A. vera juice plus 0.5 g acemannan, and (4) HF meal with A. vera juice plus 1 g acemannan. Enriching A. vera juice with 1 g acemannan significantly reduced postprandial serum triglycerides, and free fatty acids after the HF meal (p < 0.05). Supplementing the HF meal with A. vera juice and acemannan suppressed postprandial glucose, enhanced postprandial antioxidant capacity and reduced tumor necrosis factor-α levels at 6 h (p < 0.05). Notably, the high-concentration acemannan positively influenced appetite by increasing fullness and decreasing hunger ratings. These findings suggest that acemannan enhances A. vera juice benefits in mitigating postprandial dysmetabolism.
