Abstract
A method for controlling body fat in a human or nonhuman animal includes the step of reducing lipoxygenase activity in an animal. Lipoxygenase activity can be reduced by reducing the enzyme activity or by lowering the enzyme level. Reduced lipoxygenase activity correlates with reduced cell-associated LPL activity and with reduced cellular triacylglyceride level.
