Capsicum composition mitigates obesity: Effects on metabolic profiles and key tissue biomarkers in high-fat diet-fed rats
Abstract
Nutrition encompasses the intake and utilization of nutrients and bioactive components that are essential for sustaining life, supporting growth and development, promoting health, and enhancing overall quality of life and well-being.In recent decades, the consumption of high-fat foods has increased markedly due to their low cost and palatability.A high-fat diet (HFD) increases body fat and induces insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and oxidative stress in rats.Obesity arises from an imbalance in energy intake and expenditure, where excessive fat consumption leads to surplus energy being stored as triglycerides
