BHB-Phe: A Natural Appetite Regulator

Researchers have discovered BHB-Phe, a natural compound produced during fasting or exercise, that regulates appetite and body weight by activating specific neurons in the brain. This compound, distinct from Lac-Phe, shows potential for therapeutic applications in obesity by suppressing feeding behavior in mice. The study suggests that BHB-Phe could offer a novel weight-loss method without dietary restrictions, warranting further investigation into its mechanisms and effects in humans.
