5. Hops Extract benefits

A.Phytoestrogens

Hops may have estrogenic effects. Wang Jiangbi and others studied the effect of hops on ovariectomized obese rats. After oral administration of hops water extract, compared with ovariectomized rats, weight gain was suppressed, serum free fatty acid FFA content decreased, and total antioxidant capacity T AOC increased. The levels of malondialdehyde MDA and insulin Ins decreased. It shows that hops water extract can inhibit obesity in ovariectomized rats. This effect may be achieved by hops having estrogen-like activity by increasing insulin sensitivity and improving the body’s total antioxidant capacity.
