This book explores the anti-obesity potential of Ficus benghalensis Linn. bark, a traditional medicinal plant long valued in Ayurveda, using a scientifically validated animal model. Obesity, a leading global health concern, is associated with multiple metabolic disturbances including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and fatty liver. Using a monosodium glutamate (MSG)-induced obesity model in mice, this research evaluates the effectiveness of Ficus benghalensis bark extract in regulating body weight, lipid metabolism, blood glucose, and hormonal levels such as leptin and insulin. Histopathological analysis of adipose and liver tissues further confirms its therapeutic potential. The book presents a compelling blend of traditional knowledge and modern pharmacology, highlighting the role of bioactive compounds like flavonoids, tannins, and phenolics. With detailed experimental methodology, results, and discussion, this work serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in phytopharmacology, obesity management, and natural product-based drug discovery.
