Obesity–an update on the basic pathophysiology and review of recent therapeutic advances.
Biomolecules 11:1426 (2021)
Obesity represents a major public health problem with a prevalence increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. Continuous intensive efforts to elucidate the complex pathophysiology and improve clinical management have led to a better understanding of biomolecules like gut hor-mones, antagonists of orexigenic signals, stimulants of fat utilization, and/or inhibitors of fat ab-sorption. In this article, we will review the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of obesity including intersection points to the new generation of antidiabetic drugs. We provide insight into the effectiveness of currently approved anti-obesity drugs and other therapeutic avenues that can be explored.
