Cleveland Researchers Find Enzyme That Regulates Weight and Cholesterol in Animals
A new study has identified an enzyme called SCoR2 that acts as a 'fat switch' in the body, controlling fat and cholesterol production. Blocking this enzyme in animal studies reduced weight gain, lowered bad cholesterol, and protected the liver, suggesting potential for new treatments for obesity, high cholesterol, and liver disease. However, human trials are still needed before these findings can lead to new therapies.
