Does solubilization of phytosterols in diacylglycerol versus triacylglycerol improve the serum cholesterol-lowering effect?
Dissolution of PS in DG had a better serum cholesterol lowering effect than dissolution in TG.
The attenuated caloric intake, reduced food efficiency, and normalization of hormonal levels on day 28 post-RYGB were associated with significant down-regulation of endocannabinoids anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol in muscle and liver, respectively. These results suggest a role for endocannabinoids in the mechanism of sustained weight loss and RYGB success, and may have implications for treatment of morbid obesity.
