Piperine, the major chemical compound found in black paper has exhibited anti metabolic syndrome(2181)(2182)  and reduced risk of complications of diabetes(2184)(2185)(2189) and cardiovascular disease(2182)(2186) effects on lipid profile(2182)[LDL-non-HDL-C, total cholesterol, triglycerides and Lp(a), and elevating HDL-C concentrations], obesity(2183), glucose intolerance(2183), and oxidative stress(2183), body weight(2187), insulin and leptin sensitivity(2187)
through its antihyperglycemic(2183)(2189) and hypolipidemic(2183)(2188) metabolisms and antioxidant(2188) and anti-inflammatory activities(2181).
