Abstract:
Food-derived polyphenols and some alkaloids have reported bioactivities related to the prevention of systemic metabolic disorders such as obesity, glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia. For food-derived components to exert their functions in vivo, it is essential to interact with biological factors such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. However, it is still unclear whether bioactive components in foods express functions related to their target factors. In this review, I introduce the target proteins in which food-derived components express functions in cells.
