Method for evaluating compounds effective for obesity treatment by LCE

摘要

In the test for obesity or leanness, a test based on the expression level of the LCE gene or protein in a test tissue or test cell, a polymorphism in the gene, or the like is performed. In addition, in the evaluation of compounds including screening of therapeutic drugs for obesity or leanness, the evaluation is performed using the properties of the LCE gene or protein.
