Guidelines for the Anti‐Obesity Assays of Food Bioactives in Caenorhabditis elegans

Key Points

Anti-obesity activity screening was detailed for food bioactives, focusing on multiple bioactive compounds.
Essential experimental protocols include using C elegans, emphasizing a practical approach to obesity prevention.
Prominent bioactive compounds include polyphenols, terpenoids, and saponins, highlighting their relevance in obesity research.
Guided by this methodology, further exploration of food bioactives may pave the way for effective obesity treatments.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The obesity has become a global public health problem and is closely related to a variety of chronic diseases. Excepted for the clinical medicine, developing functional food with bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, terpenoids, stilbenoids, polysaccharides, saponins, and isothiocyanates, is more practical for preventing and treating obesity. In this guideline, the experimental protocol on the anti‐obesity activity screening of food bioactives on Caenorhabditis elegans was presented in detail.
