Abstract
The prevalence of obesity along with its related metabolic diseases has increased globally in recent decades. Obesity originates from a heterogeneous physiological state, which is further complicated by the influence of factors such as genetic, behavioural, and environmental. Lifestyle interventions including exercise and diet have limited success, necessitating the development of pharmacological approaches. Mechanistically, strategies target either reducing energy intake or increasing consumption through metabolism boosting. Current drugs lower energy intake via inducing satiety or inhibiting substrate absorption, while targeting mitochondria or cytosolic energy sensors has shown limited success due to toxicity. Nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) has provided hope for activating these processes selectively without significant side effects. The internet-based marketing of plant-based formulations for enhancing metabolism has surged. This review compiles scientific articles, magazines, newspapers, and online resources on anti-obesity drug development. Combination therapy of metabolic boosters and established anti-obesity compounds appears to be a promising future approach that requires further research.

The Complex of Phycobiliproteins, Fucoxanthin, and Krill Oil Ameliorates Obesity through Modulation of Lipid Metabolism and Antioxidants in Obese Rats. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14224815. [PMID: 36432501 PMCID: PMC9693846 DOI: 10.3390/nu14224815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Phycobiliproteins, fucoxanthin, and krill oil are natural marine products with excellent activities. In the study, we prepared the complex of phycobiliproteins, fucoxanthin, and krill oil (PFK) and assessed the anti-obesity, lipid-lowering, and antioxidant activities in high-fat diet rats. The results showed that the rats significantly and safely reduced body weight gain and regulated serum biochemical parameters at 50 mg/kg phycobiliproteins, 10 mg/kg fucoxanthin, and 100 mg/kg krill oil. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism study suggested that the complex of PFK confined the enzyme activities of lipid synthesis and enhanced antioxidant activity to improve obesity indirectly. The conclusions demonstrated that the complex of PFK has potent anti-obesity and hypolipidemic effects which have potential use as a natural and healthy food and medicine for anti-obesity and lowering blood lipids in the future.

Abstract
Background Obesity is an increasing worldwide problem associated with a vast number of comorbidities. Decreasing body weight by only 5-10% has been shown to slow and even prevent the onset of obesity-related comorbidities. Between pharmacological therapy and bariatric surgery a great variety of endoscopic techniques are available, the most common being intragastric balloon (IGB). The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerance, and kinetics of IGBs in weight loss. The kinetics of weight loss were evaluated in 2 different contexts and phases: after the IGB's removal and after follow-up that varied between 6 and 12 months. Successful weight loss was defined as ≥10% weight loss after 6-12 months. Methods The study included 51 patients who had undergone Orbera® IGB placement between September 2014 and February 2016. Inclusion criteria were age between 18 and 65 years; body mass index (BMI) 28-35 with severe obesity-related disorders; or BMI 35-40. The IGB was removed 6 months later. All patients were followed for a minimum period of 6-12 months. Results Of 51 patients, 16 were excluded (7 due to intolerance) and 35 patients entered the study, of which 83% were followed for more than 6-12 months. The average weight loss (WL) and % excess WL (%EWL) after 6 months of treatment were 11.94 kg and 42.16%, respectively. At 6-12 months, after removal of the IGB, the mean WL was 8.25 kg and %EWL was 30.27%. Nineteen patients attained a WL of ≥10% the baseline value at IGB removal and 12 maintained their weight below this threshold during the 6-12 following months. Conclusions After temporary IGB implantation in overweight or obese individuals, a WL that was ≥10% of weight at baseline was achieved in 54.3% and sustained at 6-12 months in 41.4% of participants. IGBs are an attractive intermediate option between diet and exercise programs and bariatric surgery. In general, IGB placement is a safe and well-tolerated procedure.

J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A 2017; 27:1015-1021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk factors for staple line bleeding (SLB) during and after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are various, including patient related factors, perioperative medications, and surgical technique, although there is little clarification in the literature of the role played by blood pressure during the stapling phase. The aim of the present retrospective cohort study was to identify possible risk factors liable to cause SLB. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data collected prospectively from 120 consecutive patients who underwent SG were analyzed retrospectively according to age, gender, body mass index (BMI), international normalized ratio (INR) value, intraoperative systolic blood pressure (SBP), and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). RESULTS In univariate analysis, age, stapling phase SBP and MABP, and the duration of surgery were all significantly higher in patients with SLB than those without (P < .05). In distinguishing patients with SLB from those without, the cutoff threshold for SBP during the stapling phase was 120 mmHg with a 78.9% sensitivity, 97.6% specificity, 93.8% positive predictive value, 90.9% negative predictive value, and 91.7% accuracy (AUC = 0.908, 95% CI: 0.839-0.976, and P < .001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, independent of age and operation time, SBP >120 mmHg significantly maintained its predictive power on SLB (95% CI: 32.410-1457.896, P < .001). CONCLUSION A SBP >120 mmHg during the division of the stomach is an independent risk factor for SLB. Maintaining intraoperative SBP ≤120 mmHg during the stapling phase does not only decrease the risk of SLB but also the need for homeostatic agents such as clips and sutures, which in turn prolong the operative time and increase cost.

Ferulic acid lowers body weight and visceral fat accumulation via modulation of enzymatic, hormonal and inflammatory changes in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2017; 50:e5630.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported on the glucose and lipid-lowering effects of ferulic
acid (FA) but its anti-obesity potential has not yet been firmly established. This
study investigated the possible anti-obesitogenic effects of FA in mice fed a
high-fat diet (HFD) for 15 weeks. To assess the antiobesity potential of FA, 32 male
Swiss mice, weighing 20–25 g (n=6–8 per group) were fed a normal diet (ND) or HFD,
treated orally or not with either FA (10 mg/kg) or sibutramine (10 mg/kg) for 15
weeks and at the end of this period, the body weights of animals, visceral fat
accumulation, plasma levels of glucose and insulin hormone, amylase and lipase
activities, the satiety hormones ghrelin and leptin, and tumor necrosis factor-α
(TNF-α) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCH-1) were analyzed. Results
revealed that FA could effectively suppress the HFD-associated increase in visceral
fat accumulation, adipocyte size and body weight gain, similar to sibutramine, the
positive control. FA also significantly (P<0.05) decreased the HFD-induced
elevations in serum lipid profiles, amylase and lipase activities, and the levels of
blood glucose and insulin hormone. The markedly elevated leptin and decreased ghrelin
levels seen in HFD-fed control mice were significantly (P<0.05) reversed by FA
treatment, almost reaching the values seen in ND-fed mice. Furthermore, FA
demonstrated significant (P<0.05) inhibition of serum levels of inflammatory
mediators TNF-α, and MCH-1. These results suggest that FA could be beneficial in
lowering the risk of HFD-induced obesity via modulation of enzymatic, hormonal and
inflammatory responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate change in sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) over 3 years following bariatric surgery. METHODS A subset of participants in an observational study (n = 473 of 2,458; 79% female, median body mass index 45 kg m(-2) ) wore an activity monitor presurgery and at 1-3 annual postsurgery assessments. RESULTS Over the first year, on average, sedentary time decreased from 573 (95% CI: 563-582) to 545 (95% CI: 534-555) min days(-1) and moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA) increased from 77 (95% CI: 71-84) to 106 (95% CI: 98-116) min week(-1) , or 7 (95% CI: 5-10) to 24 (95% CI: 18-29) min week(-1) in MVPA bouts ≥10 min. There were no changes in these parameters from years 1 to 3 (P for all > 0.05). The percentage of participants achieving ≥150 min week(-1) of bout-related MVPA was not different at year 3 [6.5% (95% CI: 3.1-12.7)] vs. presurgery [3.4% (95% CI: 1.8-5.0); P = 0.45]. Most participants followed SB and PA trajectories that paralleled mean change and were consistent with their presurgery position in relation to the group. CONCLUSIONS On average, bariatric surgical patients make small reductions in SB and increases in PA during the first postsurgery year, which are maintained through 3 years. Still, postsurgery PA levels fall short of PA guidelines for general health or weight control.

Abstract
Obesity is an emerging disease worldwide. Changes in living habits, especially with increased consumption of high-calorie foods and decreased levels of physical activity, lead to an energy imbalance that brings weight gain. Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for several chronic diseases (including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer), reduce quality of life, and are associated with higher mortality. For all these reasons, it is of the utmost importance that the trend be reversed and obese people enabled to lose weight. It is known that eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help prevent obesity, but data show that in many cases these steps are not enough. This is the reason why, over the last few decades, several antiobesity drugs have been developed. However, the disappointing results demonstrated for the vast majority of them have not discouraged the pharmaceutical industry from continuing to look for an effective drug or combination of drugs. The systematic review presented here focuses on naltrexone sustained-release/bupropion sustained-release combination (Contrave®). We conclude from the current published reports that its effectiveness in the treatment of obesity can be estimated as a placebo-subtracted weight loss of around 4.5%. This weight reduction is moderate but similar to other antiobesity drugs. The safety profile of this combination is acceptable, despite additional data regarding cardiovascular disease being needed.

Abstract
Obesity is a major epidemic of our time and is associated with diseases such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Although weight loss drugs, when accompanied by diet and exercise, could be a very helpful medical tool in treating obese or overweight patients, their usefulness has been questioned due to the complexity of this type of medication, which regards a plethora of issues such as efficacy and safety of the drug and also risks and benefits among different patients. In general, obesity drugs that target peripheral pathophysiological mechanisms can be divided into two main categories. The first category includes anti-obesity agents able to reduce or limit energy absorption, such as pancreatic lipase and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitors. The second category consists of a heterogeneous group of compounds aiming to decrease fat mass by increasing energy expenditure or by redistributing adipose tissue. Angiogenesis inhibitors, beta-3 receptor agonists, sirtuin-I activators, diazoxide and other molecules belong to this group. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists consist the third category of peripheral anti-obesity agents discussed therein. This review aims to provide a general overview of the molecules and substances that are already or could potentially be used as peripheral anti-obesity drugs, the molecular mechanisms by which they act, as well as their current stage of development, production and/or availability.
