The Claim

The RELIANCE platform identified 29 metabolites that improve insulin-mediated suppression of lipolysis in adipocytes at least as effectively as rosiglitazone, suggesting a broad class of compounds may modulate adipose tissue insulin sensitivity.

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

Twenty-nine metabolites identified by the RELIANCE platform suppress fat breakdown in fat cells under insulin control as effectively as the drug rosiglitazone.

See the scientific wording

The RELIANCE platform identified 29 metabolites that improve insulin-mediated suppression of lipolysis in adipocytes at least as effectively as rosiglitazone, suggesting a broad class of compounds may modulate adipose tissue insulin sensitivity.

Why this might work

Certain natural compounds bind to fat cells and make insulin work better, which turns off the enzyme that breaks down fat, causing less fat to be released into the blood.

  1. Study: 1093-OR: Metabolite-Driven Reversal of Adipocyte Insulin Resistance Identified by Reliance, a Novel Live Lipolysis Screening Platform

    Scientists built a new tool to test how well natural substances help insulin stop fat cells from releasing fat. They found 29 natural compounds that worked as well as or better than a diabetes drug, meaning many everyday substances might help improve how fat cells respond to insulin.
