  2. Lipase inhibitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipase_inhibitors

    Lipase inhibitors may affect the amount of fat absorbed, yet they do not block the absorption of a particular type of fat. [1] Likewise, lipase inhibitors are not absorbed into the bloodstream . Lipase inhibitors bind to lipase enzymes in the intestine, [ 2 ] thus preventing the hydrolysis of dietary triglycerides into monoglycerides and fatty ...

  3. Jejunoileal bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jejunoileal_bypass

    Bypassing the major site of bile acid reabsorption in the small intestine therefore further reduces fat and fat-soluble vitamin absorption. As a result, huge amounts of fatty acids , which are normally absorbed in the small intestine, enter the colon, where they cause irritation of the colon wall and the secretion of excessive volumes of water ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

    Pancreatic lipases do not only affect the hydrolysis of triglycerides but are also necessary for hydrolysis of fat soluble vitamins. Due to this, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins may decrease. Therefore, it is recommended to take a multiple-vitamin supplement during orlistat therapy. [9] [12] Cetilistat, a new lipase inhibitor, is an ...

    Intravascular administration does not involve absorption, and there is no loss of drug. [4] The fastest route of absorption is inhalation. [5] Absorption is a primary focus in drug development and medicinal chemistry, since a drug must be absorbed before any medicinal effects can take place. Moreover, the drug's pharmacokinetic profile can be ...

    Consequently, these drugs have been used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia. [4] [5] [6] Use of these agents as hypolipidemic agents has decreased markedly since the introduction of the statins, which are more efficacious than bile acid sequestrants at lowering LDL.

  9. Abetalipoproteinemia - Wikipedia

    This leads to a multiple vitamin deficiency, affecting the fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. [11] However, many of the observed effects are due to vitamin E deficiency in particular. [11] Acanthocytosis in a patient with abetalipoproteinemia. Signs and symptoms vary and present differently from person to person.
