The study was carried out in the department of Pharmacy,  Jahangirnagar University and National Mushroom Development and Extension Center  (NAMDEC) with 36 rats were divided into 3 groups as follows. The Control group (C) received  normal/basal laboratory diet, experimental group (E) was fed fatty mixture diet and mushroom  fed group (M) received 5% powder of GL with fatty mixture for 28 days. 5% powder of GL  administration significantly reduced body weight in obese rats than group E. The present study  suggests that GL may serve as a new potential natural product for the prevention of obesity.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/akmmcj.v3i2.11687">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/akmmcj.v3i2.11687</a></p> <p>AKMMC J 2012: 3(2): 11-14</p> ER -
