Scientists discover natural hormone that reverses obesity

Scientists have discovered how a naturally occurring hormone can reverse obesity in mice, and the answer lies in the brain. Researchers at the University of Oklahoma found that the hormone works by sending signals to a brain region that helps control metabolism and appetite. This is the same general area targeted by widely used GLP-1 weight loss drugs. The findings were published in the journal Cell Reports.
