Gut Chemical – Anti Obesity
Image Source: buzzle.com
There is a discovery that will possibly pave the way for new approaches in dealing with obesity. It is in a form of a fatty substance made by the gut. What it does is it signals the brain when it is time to stop eating. The fat derived chemical is known as NAPE. And it is present in humans and animals alike. It has been observed that when the mice being tested were given a fatty set of meal, their Nape level shot up, the substance was then synthesized and injected to the animals greatly diminishing their appetites. After a five day testing and dose of Nape, the animals lost weight and their eating greatly reduced. Many see this as a viable solution to the worldwide fight against obesity. Scientists are working doubly hard to develop the new discovery.
