How do we do it?
Pathologies Derived from Fat Accumulation
Increased ectopic fat accumulation:
Fatty liver and NASH
- Liver fat accumulation, fibrosis and inflammation leading to cirrhosis.
- Silent disease, low awareness and poor diagnosis.
- Co-morbidities obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
Cellulite
- Undesirable fat deposits in subcutaneous adipocyte.
- Socially subterfuge disease affecting +80% pot-puberal females.
- Scarce science-based innovation in the last decade.
Endolipid proposed strategy:
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Mimicking SHBG, an innovative new strategy to reduce ectopic fat accumulation.
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin
- Plasma glycoprotein
- Produced by the liver and secreted Into the blood.
- Binds sex steroids.
- Low plasma SHBG levels related to subjects with obesity, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes and PCOS.
