ABSTRACT Obesity, along with its associated health risks such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, Type 2 diabetes, stroke, metabolic syndrome, asthma, and cancer, constitutes a significant global burden, contributing substantially to morbidity mortality. Cytokines, group of secreted signaling proteins, are crucial in initiating, maintaining, resolving immune responses. Although cytokines have unique advantages regulating functions, their therapeutic application for obesity remains limited clinical practice. Natural compounds, known structural diversity low toxicity, become valuable resource drug development. Many natural compounds shown anti‐obesity effects. This review comprehensively examines the mechanisms underlying obesity, specific focus on roles cytokines, inflammatory adipokines, growth factors. Additionally, it highlights regulatory interactions between gut microbiota obesity. The critically analyzes current pharmacological interventions summarizes advanced methodologies identifying potential compounds. Finally, identifies promising that modulate cytokine activity prevent or treat assesses complementary alternative therapies.
