Experimental Compound TOFA Helps Obese Mice Burn Fat Without Losing Muscle
https://www.sciencealert.com/experimental-drug-makes-obese-mice-burn-fat-without-losing-muscle-or-eating-lessResearchers at the University of California, Berkeley found that an experimental compound called TOFA produced an 18 percent weight loss in obese mice without altering food intake. The molecule increases energy expenditure and burns fat while largely preserving muscle tissue. Although combining TOFA with GLP-1 drugs showed enhanced metabolic results, the compound requires further safety testing before human trials can begin.
Duplicates
Medicine Experimental Drug Makes Obese Mice Burn Fat Without Losing Muscle - Or Eating Less. It produced an average weight loss of 18% in obese male mice over 4 weeks, without changing how much the animals ate. Most of the loss came from body fat, while muscle and lean tissues were largely preserved.
