Design a drug that can selectively target and inhibit the activity of the enzyme responsible for converting saturated fatty acids to mono-unsaturated fatty acids in the liver, without affecting the activity of other important enzymes involved in lipid metabolism pathways. How would you potentially test the efficacy of this drug in vivo?
