For your information, a lignan is broadly considered an antioxidant that is present in unfiltered and unrefined seeds of sesame, pumpkin and flax as well as many other foods. Besides being a strong antioxidant, sesamin has shown great promise as a lipid oxidizer as well as to support anti-inflammatory action. Its main mechanism for fatty acid oxidation (fat burning) is triggered by the enzyme known as PPAR-alpha. PPAR-alpha (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activator Receptor Alpha) is documented to exist in muscle, the liver and adipose tissue (fat). Sesamin being a strong activator of this enzyme (PPAR-alpha) is also involved in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids while simultaneously decreasing lipogenesis, or in simple terms, the accretion of new fatty acids. In other words, PPAR-alpha activation is directly correlated with increasing fat burning in muscle tissue. Which is a good thing! Sesamin is an excellent addition to anybody's workout regimen, not only to increase fat burning, but also for its overall anti-oxidant and nutrient partioning properties.
