对抗氧化剂和天然衍生化合物作为肥胖和非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)的潜在补救措施的科学兴趣日益增加,导致了广泛的研究。此文献计量分析的目的是提出关于抗氧化剂主题的最新观点,草药,植物化学物质,和天然化合物,在控制肥胖和NAFLD方面,确定未来研究的新领域。使用Scopus数据库检索了2012-2022年的出版物。使用Biblioshiny和VOSviewer工具对研究趋势进行了分析。该领域的研究活动大幅增加,正如已出版手稿数量以每年10%的速度所表明的那样。中国,韩国,美国成为这一特定领域最突出的贡献者,得到了他们大量出版物和引文的支持。密度分析显示,与草药品种相关的最常见的作者关键词是,按等级排序,中国茶树,苦瓜,姜黄,Paraguariensis,人参,辣木,藤黄果,藤黄,生姜,还有Cinnamomumverum.在抗氧化剂组中,植物化学物质,和天然化合物,前10名是白藜芦醇,姜黄素,槲皮素,维生素E,α-硫辛酸,维生素C,绿原酸,番茄红素,岩藻黄质,还有小檗碱.共现分析揭示了重要的主题和潜在趋势,包括对草药物种的影响的显著兴趣,抗氧化剂,植物化学物质,以及通过调节肠道微生物群对肥胖和NAFLD的天然化合物。另一个反复出现的主题,是对证明抗脂肪生成特性的分子靶标的持续研究。这项研究中提出的分析为研究人员调查抗氧化剂的功效提供了有价值的见解,草药,植物化学物质,和天然化合物在解决肥胖和NAFLD。通过使用文献计量学方法,这项研究提供了全面的概述。此外,这项分析的结果可以作为未来研究这一特定领域的基础。
The increasing scientific interest in antioxidants and naturally derived compounds as potential remedies for obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has led to extensive research. The objective of this bibliometric analysis is to present an updated perspective on the topic of antioxidants, herbs, phytochemicals, and natural compounds, in the control of obesity and NAFLD, to identify new areas for future research. Publications from the years 2012-2022 were retrieved using the Scopus database. The research trends were analyzed using the
Biblioshiny and VOSviewer tools. The field has seen a significant increase in research activity, as indicated by an annual growth rate of 10 % in the number of published manuscripts. China, Korea, and the USA emerged as the most prominent contributors in this specific field, supported by their notable volumes of publications and citations. The density analysis revealed that the most frequently occurring authors\' keywords related to herbal species are, in rank order, Camelia sinensis, Momordica charantia, Curcuma longa, Ilex paraguariensis, Panax ginseng, Moringa oleifera, Garcinia cambogia, Garcinia mangostana, Zingiber officinale, and Cinnamomum verum. In the group of antioxidants, phytochemicals, and natural compounds, the top 10 were resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C, chlorogenic acid, lycopene, fucoxanthin, and berberine. The co-occurrence analysis unveiled significant themes and potential trends, including a notable interest in the impact of herbal species, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and natural compounds on obesity and NAFLD through the modulation of the gut microbiome. Another recurring theme that arises, is the ongoing investigation of molecular targets that demonstrate anti-adipogenesis properties. The analysis presented in this study provides valuable insights for researchers investigating the efficacy of antioxidants, herbs, phytochemicals, and natural compounds in addressing obesity and NAFLD. Through the use of bibliometric methods, the study offers a comprehensive overview. Furthermore, the findings of this analysis can serve as a foundation for future research in this specific domain.
