This systematic review examines the role of food-derived extracellular vesicles (FDEVs) as delivery systems for medicine-food homology components (MFHCs) in managing diet-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome. The review highlights FDEVs' ability to enhance lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, and insulin sensitivity, offering a promising approach to address these health challenges.
Key findings
- FDEVs can efficiently deliver MFHCs to regulate lipid metabolism and inflammatory responses.
- The review discusses the potential of FDEVs to improve insulin sensitivity in metabolic syndrome.
- Challenges in preparation techniques and safety assessment for FDEVs are identified.
Why it matters
Understanding the potential of FDEVs as natural nanocarriers could lead to innovative strategies for treating metabolic syndrome, a significant public health concern. This approach may enhance the effectiveness of dietary interventions.
