Obesity or over-weight is a big problem in the world like cancer because major diseases like heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, etc. occur due to over-weight.
From every 7 persons, 1 person is affected by obesity or overweight.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), obesity means the extra amount of fat accumulated into the body, which may cause a risk of health.
Many researchers are working to find out the medicine to decrease body fat. Various organizations investing billions of money to find out one medicine that can work as an anti-obesity drug.

After hearing this one statement, the first question hit your mind is
What is capsaicin?
- Capsaicin is a material, that comes from chili or capsicum.
- Capsaicin causes highly irritation on any tissue, basically on the skin and eyes.
- Capsaicin is a colorless, pungent, hydrophobic material.
How to decrease obesity by capsaicin?
- In the layer of our intestine, there are Intestinal mucosal afferent nerves.
- The function of the nerve is to control the adipose tissue distribution between visceral and subcutaneous sites.
- Capsaicin may activate the potency of the temporary receptor vanilloid-1 channels that may prevent adipogenesis and the preadipocytes and adipocytes synthesis.
- Adipogenesis is basically the process of storing fat as storage of energy.
- By this mechanism, the metabolism of fat is perfectly tuned.
- There are two types of adipose cells (fat cells). White adipose cell and brown adipose cells. White adipose cells increase the amount of fat storage. It increases the tendency of obesity. Brawn adipose cells may increase fat metabolism, So it decreases the tendency of obesity.
- Capsaicin selectively activates the brown fat cells by which fat metabolism may also increase.
- Capsaicin act on the stomach and liver adipose tissue by peroxisome proliferator-activated alpha receptor and temporary receptor vanilloid-1 activation.
- In simple language, capsaicin acts on the nerve cell present in the wall of the intestine(intestinal mucosal afferent nerves). By the effect of it, the fat storage decreases by the metabolism of fat cells. The metabolism is happening by the activation of the brown adipose cells. In this way, capsaicin may decrease obesity or overweight.
