[Metabolic activity of 3-hydroxymethyl N-methyl piperidine (4-chlorophenoxy) acetate hydrochloride in obese rats]

When chronically administered, 3-hydroxymethyl N-methyl piperidine (4-chlorophenoxy) acetate, hydrochloride, causes reduced food intake and weight gain in obese (fa/fa) rats. We observe an increase in free fatty acid concentration of obese (fa/fa) rats treated for 12 days.
