Natural Products in Anti-Obesity Therapy
Obesity is regulated by genetic, endocrine, metabolic, neurological, pharmacological, environmental, and nutritional factors. The brain, gut, and adipose tissues interact with each other through metabolism-related neuropeptides, cytokines, chemokines, adipokines, and gut microbial composition. This contributes to changes in energy intake and energy expenditure. Globally, the increasing incidence of obesity is disturbing. In recent decades, obesity has been recognized as a chronic disease and a serious public health issue. It is well established ...
