OutcomeResultStudy typeSource
Adiposity and weight loss with low-fat dietIn diet-induced obese mice, 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium combined with a low-fat diet promoted marked loss of adiposity and weight, normalising them to lean animals, which the diet switch alone did not do.Animal · mouse (not a human result)Scientific reports 2022, PMID 35013352
