in the nature such as avonols, isoavanones, isoavonoids, avones, avans-3-ol, and anthocyanins [2, 21]. General structures of some of these groups are given in Fig.2.
These secondary metabolites have different mode of actions, which contribute to their anti-obesity activities. Possible mode of actions found in the literature are summa­rized collectively in Fig.3 [9, 13, 2123].
These mode of actions can be summarized as follows:
Energy expenditure boosters/regulators: Energy
expenditure can be classied into physical activity, oblig-
atory energy expenditure, and adaptive thermogenesis.
Energy expenditure stimulants such as capsaicin, caffeine,
and green tea work to increase energy expenditure with
the establishment of non-shivering thermogenesis and
thus dissipate excessive energy in the form of heat [2].
Bulk producers and laxatives: Bulk producers such as
dietary bers result in a sense of fullness and also reduce
appetite. Laxatives on the other hand make way for rapid
excretion of foods and water that can contribute to weight
loss [2].
Lipase inhibitors (pancreatic lipase inhibition):
Pancreatic lipase is a key enzyme of the lipid metabolism
that is associated with the absorption of dietary triglycer-
ides, and thus, when inhibited, fat hydrolysis will also be
inhibited and fat absorption will be reduced [13, 24].
Appetite suppressants and controllers: Appetite sup-
pressants have the ability to control hunger centers that
are found in the brain and end up in a sense of fullness/
satiety [2].
Lipid metabolism regulators—thermogenesis:
Suppression of white adipose tissue (WAT) expansion
and brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation is also an important approach in the ght against obesity [13]. WAT is responsible for energy storage since it converts excess energy and stores it in its cells in the form of TG.However, BAT has a vast number of mitochondria, consumes bioenergy, and emits it in the form of non­tremor thermogenesis as it maintains body temperature and energy consumption. Recently, a third type of adi­pocyte was identied in WAT.These newly found adi­pocytes are called beige adipocytes and resemble brown adipocytes with higher UCP1 levels. It was understood that the conversion of WAT into beige adi­pocytes could be achieved with exposure to cold or stimulation with medications and/or hormones and it could provide protection against obesity and insulin resistance [7].
Preadipocyte/adipocyte apoptosis: Apoptosis of preadi-
pocytes and adipocytes results in decrease in lipid mass, and this effect was found to be longer lasting compared to lipid mobilization and lipolysis [23].
Lipolysis: Stimulation of hydrolysis of triglycerides (TG)
diminishes fat depots [2]. Hypolipidemic activity acts on plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC), and low­density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and lowers their concentrations [13].
α-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors: α-Amylase
and α-glucosidase enzymes function in the digestion of carbohydrates; thus, inhibition of these enzymes would result in inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption [13].
Adipocyte differentiation regulators/preventers: These
agents work to suppress late-phase adipocyte differentia­tion and thus suppress lipogenesis [2].

2 Plants Against Obesity
As we have mentioned before, plants are important natural sources having various secondary metabolites with varying biological activities; therefore, it is no surprise that plants have been examined for their anti-obesity activities as rst­line treatment. With less side effects compared to synthetic medications or invasive processes such as bariatric surgery, plants have become the rst treatment of choice for many individuals who are obese or overweight. For this purpose, plant parts, extracts prepared from plants, and compounds isolated from plants were investigated for their anti-obesity activities.
There are literally hundreds of reviews along with research studies performed on anti-obesity activities of dif­ferent plant species. In this chapter, reviews were excluded and individual research studies performed on plants were included, but as you may acknowledge, it is not possible to include every single study, so relatively newer research stud­ies were tried to be included. In Table1, plants with effects that contribute to anti-obesity activity are provided with their Latin names, family names, and used parts. While Latin names are provided, recent changes with respect to plant and family names were checked from “The World Flora Online” website (formerly known as “The Plant List”) and plants
were given both with the names that were provided by the authors of the respective papers as synonyms and their accepted names.
When we look at the table, we can see that edible plants and some spice plants are also present in addition to medici­nal plants. Furthermore, some of them are being used in tra­ditional medicine for different purposes, some of which contribute to overall anti-obesity activity. For example, Momordica charantia from Cucurbitaceae family is a well­known remedy against diabetes [209, 210]. In Table1, it can be seen that fruits of the plant also have hypophagic activity [137] and the leaves are inhibitors of pancreatic lipase enzyme that also contribute to its traditional and clinical usage as an anti-obesity remedy [138]. Photographs related to this plant species and the prepared traditional remedy are given in Fig.4.
In addition to these aforementioned plant species, some plants are used in combination with different plants as mixtures, and some of them are even being sold with dif­ferent brand names. As you can see in Table2 below, plant species that are involved in these mixtures/combinations have a kind of individual anti-obesity activity. Therefore, combinations of them would yield more effects due to syn­ergistic and/or additive effects. Yun [20] also mentioned this issue and stated that more effective treatments could
