Abstract
Obesity is a disease in which excess accumulation of fat occurs in the adipose tissues of the body. Obesity is the main cause of many diseases such as type- 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health disorders such as depression. In recent studies, Moringa oleifera have been found to have antilipidemic activity by reducing the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein. This review compares the therapeutic effect of herbal drug to orlistat, a lipase inhibitor. The mechanism of action of Orlistat is to prevent the intestinal absorption of fat present in food resulting into excretion of the unabsorbed fat from the body in the stool.
