Abstract

According to the World Health Organization over 500 million people are obese and more than 425 million people have diabetes. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is directly proportional to weight gain. Nowadays despite of existing variety of methods and approaches to treatment of obese patients it is not possible to achieve desired and long-tern results. In this context developing methods to promote weight loss and improve carbohydrate metabolism becomes particularly relevant.
