Revolutionary Weight Loss Treatment: Surgery-Free and Side Effect-Free.

A new class of injectable compounds, called peptide triagonists, could offer the benefits of gastric bypass surgery without the need for invasive procedures. These compounds reduce weight, lower blood glucose levels, and boost calorie burn, while avoiding the side effects of nausea and vomiting commonly associated with current weight loss and diabetes drugs. The compounds activate multiple receptors for gut hormones, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY), which signal fullness, curb appetite, and normalize blood sugar. The researchers have filed for patents on their compounds and plan to test them in primates.

The researchers have filed for patents on their compounds and plan to test them in primates.
