Abstract
Phytotherapy can be an efficient tool for prevention and treatment of disorders including obesity. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize the available knowledge concerning the positive effects of peppers (Capsicum spp.) and their alkaloid capsaicin on human health, in particular on fat and obesity. Search for literature was performed in Medline/Pubmed, Web of Science and SCOPUS databases between the year 2000 and 2023. Words used to search were pepper, Capsicum, capsaicin, review, obesity, fat, weight loss and mechanisms. The available data demonstrate that both pepper extract and capsaicin can positively influence human health and treat several disorders. Moreover, they can reduce fat storage affecting brain centres responsible for the sensation of hunger, nutrient uptake by gastrointestinal tract, state of adipocytes, increase in carbohydrate and fat oxidation, metabolism and thermogenesis and other mechanisms. Therefore, despite some possible limitations, these substances could be useful for treatment of obesity.
植物疗法可以成为预防和治疗包括肥胖在内的疾病的有效工具。本叙述性综述的目的是总结有关辣椒及其生物碱辣椒素对人类健康，特别是对脂肪和肥胖的积极影响的现有知识。2000年至2023年间，在Medline/Pubmed、Web of Science和SCOPUS数据库中进行了文献检索。用于搜索的单词有辣椒、辣椒、辣椒素、综述、肥胖、脂肪、减肥和机制。现有数据表明，辣椒提取物和辣椒素都能对人类健康产生积极影响，并能治疗多种疾病。此外，它们可以减少影响大脑中心的脂肪储存，这些大脑中心负责饥饿感、胃肠道的营养吸收、脂肪细胞的状态、碳水化合物和脂肪氧化的增加、代谢和产热以及其他机制。因此，尽管存在一些可能的局限性，但这些物质可能对治疗肥胖有用。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
