Bioactivity | Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium hydrate (Potassium citrate monohydrate) is the major active ingredient of Garcinia cambogia. Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium hydrate competitively inhibits ATP citrate lyase with weight loss benefits. Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium hydrate effective inhibits stones formation and also inhibits HIF, and has antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-tumor effects[1][2][3][4]. |
Invitro | Hydroxycitric acid shows an HIF inhibitory effect compared with the control group in ARPE19 cells and 661W cells. Hydroxycitric acid can downregulate Hif1a and the downstream genes in ARPE19 cells and 661W cells. Hydroxycitric acid suppresses HIF-1α protein expression increased by CoCl2 administration in ARPE19 cells and 661W cells[2].In chicken hepatocytes, Hydroxycitric acid decreases the accumulation of lipid droplets and accelerated energy metabolism. Hydroxycitric acid protects the cells from ER stress by increasing the antioxidant status and mitochondrial functions[2]. |
