“…Obesity is a universal problem caused by consuming more food and spending less energy, which leads to the accumulation of fats in muscle, adipose cells, liver, islets of Langerhans, and other parts of the body that play a role in metabolism. Obesity ultimately causes coronary heart disease, cancer, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia, and metabolic-associated fatty liver diseases (Vadivelu et al, 2019). Worldwide, obesity affects 600 million people, and cases of overweight are found in 19 billion adults (Vadivelu et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2016).…”

Worldwide, obesity affects 600 million people, and cases of overweight are found in 19 billion adults (Vadivelu et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2016). Because of a diet high in energy and a modified lifestyle, the chances of becoming obese have increased (Hasani-Ranjbar et al, 2013;Vadivelu et al, 2019).…”

“…Many anti-obesity drugs are found but they cause serious side effects which lead to the use of medicinal plants and their crude extracts and compounds isolated from them to bring about weight reduction and avert obesity caused by diets (Matson & Fallon, 2012;Vadivelu et al, 2019). M. uniflorum is used to cure anti-obesity in the traditional system of India.…”

“…In a study, ethanolic extracts of Gahot leaves (EMUL), seeds (EMUS), and seeds and leaves were coupled together (ESLC) to evaluate whether they work against obesity (Vadivelu et al, 2019). The potential of these extracts to inhibit the in vitro activity of pancreatic lipase (PL) was seen.…”

Underutilized legumes are a significant group of crops that have particular importance in subsistence farming and the nutritional security of resource-poor communities in developing countries. Horsegram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.], a lesser-known neglected legume, is one such crop that is mainly cultivated in Asian and African countries as a dual-purpose crop. This climate-resilient legume is well-known for its drought hardiness and favorable agronomic features that make it suitable for cultivating dry lands under poor soil fertility conditions. It has a nutritional value comparable to other commonly consumed pulses and serves as a cheap source of nutrition for unprivileged rural communities residing in inaccessible areas. In addition, horsegram has excellent therapeutic properties and is traditionally used to cure various conditions such as kidney stones, asthma, bronchitis, leukoderma, urinary discharges, heart diseases, and piles. Furthermore, it possesses anti-diabetic and anti-ulcer activity and can help in the dietary management of obesity due to the presence of beneficial bioactive compounds. This review summarizes the nutritional composition, antinutritional factors, medicinal properties, and the potential for horsegram to be exploited as functional/medicinal food for health benefits.
