candesartan cilexetil: a prodrug which is metabolized to an active form candesartan to exert its biological effects

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background.
