Naturally occurring molecule rivals Ozempic in weight loss, sidesteps side effects
Using an AI-based algorithm, Katrin Svensson, PhD, and lead researcher Laetitia Coassolo, PhD, identified a 12-amino acid peptide that suppresses appetite and promotes weight loss in mice and minipigs by activating different metabolic and neuronal pathways than GLP-1.

Fighting Obesity
New drugs hitting the market and in the pipeline for obesity are reshaping how we treat the condition. With nearly two-thirds of Europeans overweight or obese, they can’t come soon enough, Katrina Megget reports.

What’s the deal with BMI, aka body mass index?
It takes mere minutes to calculate your body mass index, more commonly known as BMI, by using your height and weight. With countless online charts, you can find out not only what your BMI is, but which of its categorical classifications you fall into: underweight, normal, overweight or obese.

Discovery of ketosis-related pathway could lead to new approach for obesity treatments
A team at Stanford University has discovered a new metabolic pathway in mice that could play a significant role in weight management and energy balance.
