Advances in Research on Physiological Functions of Capsaicin

Abstract

Abstract: As an essential spice, chili pepper has the important physiological functions for human. The hot taste is mainly due to capsaicin contained in chili pepper. In order to provide the reference for the study on safety and function of consuming chili, this review summarizes the pharmacological function of capsaicin and its effect on obesity prevention, anticancer, and lipids metabolism, as well as the related mechanisms.

Key words: capsaicin, pharmacological function, obesity prevention, anticancer, cholesterol metabolism
