"Unveiling Metformin's Role in Natural Appetite Control for Weight Loss"

Researchers have discovered that the molecule lac-phe, abundant after intense exercise, is responsible for the weight loss effects of the diabetes drug metformin, linking it to appetite control and metabolism. Metformin increases lac-phe levels, mirroring the effects of vigorous exercise, potentially paving the way for new weight loss drugs. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, reveals that metformin stimulates lac-phe production, leading to reduced hunger and weight loss, offering insights into potential pathways for developing effective weight loss treatments.
