Anti-obesity effect of cocoa proteins (Theobroma cacao L.) variety “Criollo” and the expression of genes related to the dysfunction of white adipose tissue in high-fat diet-induced obese rats

The objective of this work was to evaluate if Cocoa Proteins (CP) from the cocoa-bean were able to reduce factors related to obesity and activated related gene targets against white adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction in a rat model of hypercaloric diet-induced obesity. The results showed that the admi...
