Abstract

Oxytocin, a neuropeptide primarily associated with social bonding and reproductive behaviors, has recently garnered attention for its potential role in energy metabolism and obesity management. Obesity, a multifaceted chronic condition, poses significant public health challenges globally. Emerging evidence highlights oxytocin's influence on appetite regulation, fat metabolism, and energy expenditure. This review examines the current literature on the relationship between oxytocin and obesity, focusing on its physiological mechanisms, therapeutic potential, and the challenges in translating findings from animal studies to human clinical trials. Further research is essential to understand oxytocin's broader implications and its feasibility as a therapeutic intervention for obesity.
