A Plant-Based Treatment That Activates Two Key Metabolic Paths May Improve Obesity and Metabolism in Lab Models

Updated

Abstract

Obesity is characterized by excessive adiposity and chronic low-grade inflammation.

  • Obesity involves a complex interplay of multiple factors affecting metabolism.
  • Chronic low-grade inflammation is often present in individuals with obesity.
  • Dysregulated pathways related to energy sensing and incretin hormones are associated with obesity.
  • Key players in these pathways include glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
