USE OF SULPHATED OLIGOSACCHARIDES AS SLIMMING COSMETIC INGREDIENTS

摘要

The patent describes a preparation comprising sulphated oligosaccharides which trap spermine or spermidine or both, as an active slimming ingredient in a cosmetic, pharmaceutical or nutraceutii al composition with a slimming effect. Spermine and spermidine are polyamines that are present in adipose tissue and especially in adipocytes. In vitro, these polyamines are known to stimulate three major enzymes of the lipogenesis process, a name given to the process of storing fatty acids in the form of triglycerides in the adipocytes.
