Understanding the Molecular Processes of Obesity and the Anti‐Obesity Properties of Bioactive Substances Found in Tea

Obesity, a severe worldwide health concern, is characterized as an excessive deposit of fat in the human body. It has various ramifications that endanger human health and increase the financial expense. Obesity raises the risk of several illnesses, notably cardiovascular disease, NALFD, and diabetes, and has been associated with shorter lifespans. Although dietary and exercise adaptations as part of a lifestyle intervention can significantly improve weight management, sustaining weight loss over the long term is exceedingly challenging, and the prevalence of obesity worldwide keeps rising. Lipid metabolism disturbances most commonly cause obesity. Anti‐obesity medications have a significant risk of addiction and may produce ineffective outcomes while causing adverse reactions. Tea, an ancient drink, has long been thought to have the potential to reduce obesity. This article summarizes the most recent breakthroughs in understanding the primary causes of obesity, with a focus on the processes underlying cellular communication. In addition, we investigate tea's anti‐obesity properties, as well as the weight‐loss constituents found in tea, which target the obesity signaling pathway.
