Comparative analysis of lipid-lowering effects of edible insects ( Tenebrio molitor , Protaetia brevitarsis , and Gryllus bimaculatus ) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Key Points

• Distinct metabolic benefits were observed with PB hydrolysate in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, indicating a promising avenue for obesity management.
• PB hydrolysate showed significant lipid-lowering effects early in the analysis, showcasing unique benefits over other insect sources.
• Observational analysis of lipid-lowering effects was conducted on three edible insects in 3T3-L1 adipocyte models.
• The findings highlight the potential of edible insect hydrolysates for obesity management, with further in vivo studies needed.
