Scientists develop fat-burning compound
Scientists tested an experimental compound known as «TOFA» that stimulates fat burning without causing muscle loss. This opens up the possibility of weight loss without reducing food intake or increasing physical activity. The study showed that mice given the compound lost about 18% of their body weight over four weeks, most of which was fat, while their muscle mass and tissues remained unchanged. Additionally, their energy expenditure increased by 18% without any noticeable change in food consumption or physical activity. The compound works by decreasing the production of new fats and promoting the use of fat cells as an energy source, while also improving health indicators such as blood sugar, insulin levels, and liver function. These preliminary results suggest its potential as a supplement for obesity treatment, but human studies have not yet been conducted. More tests are needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
