[...] 4-AD doesn't convert to DHT. It can't. The enzyme 5-alpha reductase is responsible for this conversion. Testosterone, along with androstenedione, can undergo direct 5-alpha reduction. However, by using 4-AD instead of androstenedione, we can once again avoid an undesirable direct metabolic risk. Scientists have shown conclusively that [...]
[...] fat with vegetable oil rich in linoleic acid reduces coronary heart disease and death by lowering serum cholesterol. RESULTS: The intervention group had significant reduction in serum cholesterol compared with controls (mean change from baseline -13.8%v-1.0%; P<0.001). Kaplan Meier graphs showed no mortality benefit for the intervention [...]

[...] Glycated haemoglobin was also reduced (− 0.37±0.17%, P= 0.03), as was the fasting blood glucose (− 1.58±0.68 mmol/l, P= 0.03). Testosterone treatment resulted in a reduction in visceral adiposity as assessed by waist circumference (− 1.63±0.71 cm, P= 0.03) and waist/hip ratio (− 0.03±0.01, P= 0.01). Total cholesterol decreased with [...]
[...] shown that obese animals undergo rapid improvement in pro-diabetic metabolic markers, including significantly improved insulin sensitivity, improved glucose tolerance, and a reduction in serum triglycerides after only 2-3 days of treatment. Adipotide has been further studied in non-human primates, and it has been reported that after 28 days of [...]

And a study on the boiling of flax bolls (the seed-containing portion of the plant) showed a reduction in ALA of 4-5%. All of these studies [...]

[...] a significantly greater weight loss in the grapefruit, grapefruit capsule, and grapefruit juice groups compared with placebo (P < .02). There was also a significant reduction in 2-hour post-glucose insulin level in the grapefruit group compared with placebo. Half of a fresh grapefruit eaten before meals was associated with significant [...]
[...] Cats were allowed ad libitum access to a high-quality diet until they weighed 30% more than their ideal body weight. Cats were then randomly assigned to 1 of 4 weight-reduction diets (6 cats/diet) and were fed 25% of maintenance energy requirements per day. Diets consisted of CG-CO, CA-CO, CG-OB, and CA-OB, respectively, and were fed until [...]
[...] body mass (LBM) and performance. The aim of this study was to compare changes in body composition, strength, and power during a weekly body-weight (BW) loss of 0.7% slow reduction (SR) vs. 1.4% fast reduction (FR). We hypothesized that the faster WL regimen would result in more detrimental effects on both LBM and strength-related performance. [...]

After 8 weeks of intervention, compared with the placebo, vitamin D-K-calcium co-supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in serum-free testosterone (- 2.1±1.6 vs.+0.1±1.0 pg/ml, p<0.001) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) levels (- 0.8±1.0 vs.-0.1±0.5 μg/ml, p=0.006).

Mean reduction in breast nodule diameter was 2.1 cm (95% CI 1.7, 2.7, P <.0001) after treatment with tamoxifen and 2.5 cm (95% CI 1.7, 3.3, P <.0001) with raloxifene. Some [...]

[...] That’s basically how body fat is “burnt”. The misguided age-old adage of long-duration, low-intensity exercise for fat burning and body weight reduction is slowly but surely dying, thanks to an ever increasing amount of research that concludes the extent of this whole-body lipolytic effect comes down to the [...]
[...] occurring group of dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid found in beef and dairy products. CLA has been reported to reduce body fat. To examine the mechanism(s) of CLA reduction of fat mass, female C57BL/6J mice were fed standard semipurified diets (10% fat of total energy) with or without CLA (1% wt/wt). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl [...]
[...] nor were there significant changes in body composition or hormones in the control group. Thus, we conclude that a carbohydrate-restricted diet resulted in a significant reduction in fat mass and a concomitant increase in lean body mass in normal-weight men, which may be partially mediated by the reduction in circulating insulin [...]
