The US has officially got a homegrown hero in the burgeoning global industry of effective weight-loss treatments, with the FDA approval of Eli Lilly’s Zepbound. The company has announced the once-a-week injectable drug’s cost, dosages, insurance subsid… Continue reading US and UK give the green light to powerful weight loss drug
A compelling new study from scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is pointing to a possible mechanism linking obesity with neurodegenerative diseases. The detailed work in fruit flies suggests diet-induced insulin resistance can impair the brain’s ability to clear out neuronal debris and contribute to the development of diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

The latest findings from phase 3 clinical trials of tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro, have demonstrated that if taken after an initial weight loss brought about by diet and lifestyle changes, the drug can lead to significant additional weight reduction.Co… Continue reading Lifestyle intervention plus Mounjaro leads to additional weight loss
Researchers have mapped the complex nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue, otherwise known as ‘brown fat’. It’s the first step in developing a way of stimulating the nerves to burn fat as a novel treatment for obesity and related metabolic co… Continue reading Mapping nerves that supply brown fat a step toward new obesity treatment
Finding the molecular key that will see fat tissue turn from white to brown has huge potential for obesity treatments, and for weight loss in general. Yet the cellular code has been a hard one to crack. Now, scientists believe they’ve edged a step clos… Continue reading Scientists get fat cells do the heavy lifting for weight loss
