Summary
This study tests whether a natural substance called maslinic acid, found in olives, can safely activate brown fat—a type of fat that burns calories—to improve metabolism in people with obesity or early signs of diabetes. Fifty Chinese adults aged 21–60 with a BMI of 23–32 and a large waist will take the supplement for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar, body fat, energy use, and other metabolic markers.
