In this study, Japanese researchers investigated the effects of capsaicin from chili peppers on fat accumulation and oxidative stress in rats fed a high-fat diet and alcohol. Their findings were published in the Japanese Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that capsaicin reduces fat accumulation and oxidative stress in animals fed a high-fat diet and alcohol. The compound can also be expected to prevent dyslipidemia.
