Hydroxycitric acid
(-) -Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a competitive inhibitor of ATP-citrate lyase, blocking the production of acetyl-CoA to suppress lipid and cholesterol biosynthesis. This mechanism underpins its use in research on obesity and metabolic disorders, with applications in both in vitro enzymatic assays and in vivo models studying appetite and fat metabolism.
