NZ researchers on cusp of new obesity treatment
✦AI Summary
Researchers at the University of Auckland are developing a new obesity treatment that targets fat storage processes rather than suppressing appetite. This approach aims to provide an alternative for patients who do not respond well to current GLP-1 medications like Wegovy.
Unlike drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, which suppress appetite and can result in the loss of muscle mass, this new treatment would target the body's fat-storage and leave appetite untouched.
