Why is it important?
We evaluated the benefits of Aloe vera supplementation in high-fat diet-fed mice. Our findings suggest that Aloe vera prevents cholesterol, and triglyceride accumulation as well as enhances catalase and superoxide dismutase activities. Hence, it could be used as a natural remedy for preventing metabolic disorders.
