Abstract Obesity is a complex metabolic disorder associated with dysregulated lipid metabolism and impaired adipose tissue function, resulting in the development of various chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Plant-based therapeutic strategies, targeting the inhibition of digestive enzymes, have gained increasing attention as potential safe alternatives to synthetic drugs. This study investigated the inhibitory effect of root and leaf extracts of Hypoxis hemerocallidea Fisch., C.A.Mey. therefore, the findings should be considered preliminary and require further pharmacological and mechanistic investigation.
