New Weight-Loss Drug Mimics Exercise to Burn Fat?
What? Can this be real?
Imagine if you could get all the benefits of exercise by just popping a pill? It might sound like science fiction, but researchers in Florida may have engineered just that.
The new drug, so far tested on mice, leads to controlled weight loss by convincing the body's muscles that they are exercising more than they actually are, providing an exciting alternative to weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.
"Drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro act primarily by limiting hunger (reduced food intake), whereas this class of drug increases the metabolic activity of muscle, mimicking the effects of exercise without affecting food intake," Thomas Burris, a professor who has led the research into the drug at the University of Florida, told Newsweek. "This drug increases resting energy expenditure, which is also observed when an individual exercises. The physiological changes in the muscle are also similar to what is observed under conditions of repeated aerobic exercise."
