Has piperine been shown to be of any use in the treatment of obesity-related diseases in humans?
The 2012 study {1} reports that:

Taken together, our findings suggest that
piperine, a major component of black pepper, inhibits fat cell
differentiation by down-regulating the transcriptional activity of
PPAR? (and LXR?) and suppressing the expression of PPAR?
(and LXR?), thus leading to its potential use in the treatment
of obesity-related diseases.

Has piperine been shown to be of any use in the treatment of obesity-related diseases in humans?
