Fat Mobilization Agents

Meaning

Fat mobilization agents are a class of compounds, including endogenous hormones, pharmaceuticals, or nutritional supplements, designed to stimulate the critical catabolic process of lipolysis—the breakdown of stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol. These agents are clinically utilized to promote the release of stored energy from adipose tissue for subsequent use by other metabolically active tissues. Their function is central to energy expenditure, body composition management, and improving overall metabolic health.
