new drug targets that prevent fat absorption  

Definición

  • New drug targets that prevent fat absorption primarily act by inhibiting lipases in the stomach and small intestine which break down fat into single monoglyceride units which can subsequently be absorbed into the intestinal cells and then be transported to other parts of the body for storage. Its implications in the treatment of obesity have shown that it can function to induce weight loss in individuals in combination with other diet and lifestyle interventions, as well as improvements in other health parameters of the obese state.
