"Revolutionary Weight-Loss Drug Offers Exercise-Free Results"

TL;DR Summary
A new weight-loss drug called SLU-PP-332 has shown promise in mice by tricking the body into thinking it's undergoing endurance training, resulting in weight loss and reduced fat gain. Unlike other drugs, it doesn't suppress appetite but activates proteins called ERRs, which are crucial for metabolic pathways in tissues like muscles and heart. The mice lost 12% of their body weight and gained 10 times less fat while eating the same amount of food and doing the same physical activity. The drug has a good safety profile and may have potential as a treatment for heart failure. Further research and testing are needed before human trials can be considered.
