Aloe formulas also
suppress obesity-induced inflammatory responses by reducing
levels of the proinflammatory cytokines, PPARg/liver X receptor a,
and 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, and enhance antiinflammatory
cytokines in white adipose tissue and liver. The
beneficial effects of Aloe formula with respect to obesity-induced
insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis have been associated with
its action on PPARg/liver X receptor a.
