Scientists at Brigham & Women Hospital in Boston (USA) are conducting research to find a way to replace the vagus nerve removal procedure in the treatment of people with obesity.

Capsaicin in chili can help obese people lose weight

The vagus nerve cutting procedure is often used for people with pathological obesity, not for people with normal obesity, because it causes many side effects, such as bloating.

The research group, led by Dr. Ali Tavakkoli, tested a new technique called disabling the vagus nerve , on the mice with the disease. Instead of surgery to completely remove the vagus nerve, scientists use capsaicin, which is abundant in chili, to destroy certain nerve fibers.

Scientists found 7% lower abdominal fat in obese mice treated with the untreated obese mice. Meanwhile, the vagus nerve removal procedure can reduce 19% of belly fat in obese mice, but it causes many dangerous side effects.

Dr. Tavakkoli said on the Daily Mail: 'High abdominal fat is a sign of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes. Reducing abdominal fat by using capsaicin to neutralize some vagus nerve fibers is a potential method for treating human obesity. "

However, the researchers believe that they need to do more research to see if the new technique works as effectively on humans as it does in mouse experiments.
