Sesamin, a lignan isolated from the bark of Fagara plants and from sesame oil, exhibits various health benefits.<br>Sesamin (Fagarol) is a lignan isolated from the bark of Fagara plants and from sesame oil. It has been used as a dietary fat-reduction supplement. Sesamin truly increases fat metabolism. Sesamin specifically inhibits delta 5 desaturase at low concentrations in polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in both microorganisms and animals, but does not inhibit delta 6, delta 9 and delta 12 desaturases.<br>LD50: Mice 3800mg/kg (i.g.); Rats 6150mg/kg (i.g.)
