The Claim

All-trans-retinoic acid and vitamin D₃ inhibit leptin secretion from human omental adipose tissue in vitro, with all-trans-retinoic acid demonstrating potent inhibitory effects and vitamin D₃ exhibiting powerful inhibition that is synergistic with all-trans-retinoic acid.

Source: Retinoic acid and vitamin D(3) powerfully inhibit in vitro leptin secretion by human adipose tissue.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Two vitamins—retinoic acid and vitamin D3—can reduce the amount of a fat hormone called leptin in human fat tissue in a lab dish, and when used together, they work even better than alone.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Retinoic acid and vitamin D(3) powerfully inhibit in vitro leptin secretion by human adipose tissue.

    The study found that two vitamins — retinoic acid and vitamin D3 — reduce the production of a fat hormone called leptin in human fat tissue in the lab, and when used together, they work even better. This matches exactly what the claim says.
