Abstract

Diseases caused by metabolic dysfunction such as diabetes and obesity have serious effect on human’s health. Hence, it’s important for human to find effective functional food or drugs against metabolic dysfunction. The marine environment represents a relatively untapped source that can be applied to various aspects. Meanwhile, numerous marine-based compounds have been identified as having diverse biological activities, with some reported to interfere with the pathogenesis of diseases. On the basis of their bioactive properties, this review focuses on the potential use of marine-derived compounds to against metabolic dysfunction, including diabetes and obesity.
