Influence of crude extract and bioactive fractions of Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil. (yerba mate) on the Wistar rat lipid metabolism

The influence of yerba mate extract (YME) and two concentrated fractions of methylxanthines–polyphenols (MXPL) and saponins (SFL) from yerba mate on the lipid metabolism of Wistar rats fed with a high-fat diet were examined. A Box–Behnken design was employed for the optimization of yerba mate extrac...
