This study was designed to evaluate the effects of high-carbohydrate (HC) or high-fat (HF) diet with hydroxycitricacid (HCA)-containing Garcinia cambogia in rats. Seventy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 7 groupsand raised with experimental diets containing different HCA levels (0, 1.6, and 3.2%) and calorie sources (carbohydrate, fat)for 8 weeks. Energy intake was significantly reduced in rats fed a HC diet with HCA compared to the HC diet without HCA.Body weight gain was significantly reduced in HCA groups. In the diet groups, plasma total lipid and triglyceride (TG) levelsof the HCA groups were significantly lower than those of the group without HCA. There were no significant differences inenergy intake and plasma lipid profile in HF groups. These results suggest that HC diet with HCA was more effective in thereduction of energy intake, body weight gain, and plasma lipid contents than those of HF diet with HCA.
