Abstract:
Natural dietary products have been thoroughly studied for their effects of antiadipogenesis to prevent and treat obesity for decades. Nevertheless, in the past few years appetite control for the treatment of obesity has attracted much attention as a new target. Homeostatic control of energy intake involves a complex system that conveys peripheral signals to the central nervous system where multiple signals are integrated and then provide feedback to regulate satiation. This perspective aims at elucidating the neuronal mechanisms of food intake and energy balance as well as providing an alternative pathway of controlling weight using natural dietary products.

Glucagon-like Receptor Agonists
GLP-1, when administered in high doses intravenously, triggers insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake, and restores normal insulin secretion. However, its rapid inactivation by...
Adrenergic Agonists: Indirect-Acting Agents
One mechanism involves depleting stored catecholamines by displacing them from synaptic vesicles. These agents, known as "displacers," are transported into vesicles at the expense of noradrenaline. Examples include amphetamine and tyramine, which lack a catechol moiety, resulting in prolonged action, improved oral...
