| Application: | Orlistat has been used as an inhibitor: • of fatty acid synthase in long-term estrogen-deprived (LTED) variant cell lines • of lipase in screening lipase inhibition by raspberry extract • in in vitro pancreatic lipase activity assay |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Orlistat impairs intestinal fat absorption and is effective in weight management. It is regarded as a safe drug for treating obesity. It delays the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus especially in obese and improves glycemic parameters. Long term usage of orlistat results in improved weight reduction and it may not contribute in colorectal carcinogenesis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Orlistat, used in obesity research, is a pancreatic lipase inhibitor that acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract to inhibit lipase. |
