NCIt definition : A synthetic oil with anti-obesity activity. The enzymatically synthesized isoform,
1,3-isoform diacylglycerol, is suggested to decrease formation of chylomicrons as
well as shunting them directly to the liver through the portal vein where they are
oxidized. Increased beta-oxidation may enhance body weight loss, suppress body fat
accumulation and lower serum triacylglycerol levels through increasing satiety.;
