摘要: Background: Obesity is considered a global epidemic. This disorder is associated
with several health effects, such as metabolic disturbances that need both prevention
and treatment actions. In this sense, bioactive secondary metabolites can be obtained
from cheap sources such as agro-industrial waste, providing a sustainable alternative
against obesity. Among these secondary metabolites, phenolic compounds present a common
chemical structure core with different substitutions that provide them with biological
properties such as antioxidant, inflammatory, and anti-aging capacities.
Objective: The aim of this review is to compile anti-obesity therapeutic targets for phenolic compounds
from agro-industrial by-products.
Method: Scientific information has been obtained
from different databases, such as Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar, in order to
select the available full-text studies conducted in the last few years.
Results: This review shows that peel, seed, pomace and other by-products from agro-industry have different effects
inhibiting enzymes related to lipid or glucose metabolism and modulating biomarkers,
genes and gut microbiota in animal models.
Conclusion: Revalorizing actions of agro-industrial byproducts in the prevention or treatment of obesity or associated disorders
can be considered to develop new high value products that act on lipid, glucose and
energy metabolisms, oxidative stress, inflammation, adipose tissue or gut microbiota.
However, further human studies are needed in order to establish the optimal administration
parameters.
