New Compound Discovered to Naturally Curb Appetite and Control Weight
Scientists have discovered a natural compound, BHB-Phe, which is produced by the body and can suppress appetite and reduce body weight by activating specific neurons in the brain. This compound, identified by researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and Stanford University, operates through distinct neural mechanisms compared to a related compound, Lac-Phe. The findings, published in Cell, suggest potential new treatments for obesity by leveraging BHB-Phe's unique metabolic pathway.
