Researchers at the University of Gothenburg identified specific brainstem neurons that mediate the appetite-suppressing and weight-loss effects of semaglutide without causing nausea, paving the way for targeted obesity treatments with fewer side effects.
A new study challenges the traditional understanding of appetite control, revealing that taste perception, rather than signals from the stomach, primarily regulates eating behavior. Neurons in the brainstem respond quickly to taste signals to control food intake, highlighting the complex interplay between taste and brain signals in managing eating behavior. This discovery could have implications for the development of more effective weight-loss drugs and treatments.
