Two key enzymes, ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) and ALDH (aldehyde dehydrogenase), are responsible for metabolizing alcohol, by helping to break down alcohol molecules into smaller parts that can then be eliminated
These therapies aim to enhance WL and improve metabolic outcomes by engaging multiple hormonal pathways, with preclinical and early-phase clinical trials supporting their potential as next-generation obesity treatments [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]
