A number of natural products have been reported to exert anticancer effects by modulating key enzymes and signaling pathways involved in lipid metabolism

These agents act through multiple mechanisms, including direct cardioprotection, vasodilation, natriuresis, weight reduction, lipid profile improvement, anti-inflammatory effects, renal protection, reduction in plaque formation, and neurohormonal regulation [50]
Despite their small size, they have immense biological significance in molecular biology: peptides function as a peptide hormone like PPY, enzymes, neurotransmitters, and signal molecules that mediate immune responses, cell signaling, tissue repair, and metabolic regulation
However, other studies indicate that more research is needed
