ABSTRACT
Studying on marine natural products is a vibrant research area in the world. Due to their prevention and treatment effects on malignant tumor,cardiovascular disease and other major human diseases,marine natural products have become an important guidance to find the primary drugs. Recently,beneficial effects of marine natural products on treatment of metabolic syndrome related diseases have been intensively explored. Therefore,numbers of novel active products were found out and new mechanisms were revealed. This article reviews the research literature published after 2010 and summarizes the effects of marine natural products in metabolic syndrome related diseases,such as central obesity,insulin resistance,hyperlipidemia,hypertension and inflammation.
