Nesfatin-1: role as possible new anti-obesity treatment

EXCLI J. 2014 May 26:13:586-91. eCollection 2014.

Abstract

In this article, we review on the current concepts about Nesfatin-1 as a new anti-obesity treatment and evaluate the existing issues in the context of this knowledge and the available literature. The intent is to enable clinicians to know Nesfatin-1 as a new anti-obesity treatment and make rational decisions based on this perspective as possible clinical application. Future research should seek to clarify whether Nesfatin-1 would be beneficial in the management of obesity.

Keywords: drug treatment; nesfatin-1; obesity.
