ATL-962 was discovered and created by Alizyme plc, and is an inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases and an agent to treat obesity and diabetes being designed to cause weight loss by reducing the digestion and thus the absorption of fat from the diet. To determine the effect of serum lipases on MEHP, MEHHP, and MEOHP levels, DEHP-spiked (2,000 ng/mL) serum aliquots (1 mL) were incubated at 37[degrees]C.
