Obesity is largely due to energy intake exceeding energy expenditure, thus, strategies that reduce energy intake will result in weight loss. We discovered recently that the fatty acid, lauric acid, markedly reduces energy intake. Our studies will determine the effects of lauric acid on energy intake and body weight reduction in obese subjects. The research is a new initiative and explores the potential of lauric acid as a novel, nutrient-based and side-effect free approach to obesity management.

肥胖在很大程度上是由于能量摄入超过能量消耗，因此，减少能量摄入的策略将导致体重减轻。我们最近发现，月桂酸这种脂肪酸可以显著减少能量摄入。我们的研究将确定月桂酸对肥胖受试者能量摄入和体重减轻的影响。这项研究是一项新的倡议，探索了月桂酸作为一种新的、基于营养的、无副作用的肥胖管理方法的潜力。
