Abstract: Obesity has become a serious medical problem in developed countries. Currently marketed anti-obesity drugs have limited efficacy and significant adverse effects, creating a significant need for a new generation of anti-obesity therapeutics. For optimal efficacy, new drugs should aim to both reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure, or at minimum, counteract the reduction in energy expenditure resulting from decreased food intake.
Prevention is often more effective than a cure, and this study proposes a natural method using the Jojoba seed, specifically its simmondsins components, to reduce food intake by activating Cholecystokinin neuropeptide (CCK).
Keywords: Simmondsin, Cholecystokinin, Jojoba, Functional food, Obesity, appetite.
