The molecular mechanism of obesity: The science behind natural exercise yoga and healthy diets in the treatment of obesity

Curr Probl Cardiol. 2024 Feb;49(2):102345. doi: 10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.102345. Epub 2023 Dec 15.

Abstract

The review centers on the scientific evidence underlying obesity, providing a detailed examination of the role of perilipin in this condition. It explores potential causes of obesity and delves into therapeutic approaches involving exercise, yoga, and herbal treatments. The paper discusses natural sources that can contribute to combating obesity and underscores the importance of exercise in a scientific context for overcoming obesity. Additionally, it includes information on herbal ingredients that aid in reducing obesity. The review also examines the impact of exercise type and intensity at various time intervals on muscle development. It elucidates triglyceride hydrolysis through different enzymes and the deposition of fatty acids in adipose tissue. The mechanisms by which alpha/beta hydrolase domain-containing protein 5 (ABHD5) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) target and activate their functions are detailed. The inflammatory response in obesity is explored, encompassing inflammatory markers, lipid storage diseases, and their classification with molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, the hormonal regulation of lipolysis is elaborated upon in the review.

Keywords: Alpha/beta hydrolase domain-containing protein 5 (ABHD5); Carotenoids; Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL); Perilipin; Yoga.
