Obesity is an important health issue and energy imbalance is a major cause of obesity. The 3T3-L1 preadipocyte is a well-established model to investigate the process of adipogenesis, lipogenesis, lipolysis, oxidation of fatty acids, and browning. Dietary phytochemicals have been studied for their antiobesity effects by regulated adipogenesis, lipogenesis, lipolysis, oxidation of fatty acids, and browning in adipocytes. Dietary phytochemicals could be candidates for treatment of obesity.
