Role of Nanoparticles in the Management
of Metabolic Disorders

Abstract Nanotechnology, a rapidly flourishing field has emerged as cutting-edge
technology in the twenty-first century indicating a promising future. Over the past
decades, explosive research efforts have resulted in the development and evaluation
of a plethora of nanoparticles for potential applications such as diagnosis and therapy. Hence playing a crucial role in research and development (R and D) and driving a revolution. NPs have garnered the interest of researchers due to their controlled
and sustained-release features, biocompatibility, and subcellular size as well as
extensively studied in pharmaceutical and medical fields. Since, the mode of fabrication plays a pivotal role; therefore, several techniques have been employed to
prepare the NPs of desired characteristics for a particular application, i.e. the properties of NPs can be optimized based on the preparation method. Thus, various
techniques have been employed to formulate NPs over the past two decades.
