| Deoxycholic acid |
Deoxycholic acid is a cytolytic drug, which when injected into localized subcutaneous fat, physically disrupts the cell membrane of adipocytes. The destruction of adipocytes elicits a tissue response in which macrophages are attracted to the area to eliminate cellular debris and lipids, which are then cleared through natural processes. |
