Imagine shedding weight without altering your diet or sweating it off in the gym.<\/p>\n

Scientists from the Scripps Research Institute now say it is possible. In their study, published last week in the journal Nature Communications<\/em>, they have discovered that a neuropeptide hormone, FLP-7, acts like a fat-burning trigger.<\/p>\n

The researchers, led by Supriya Srinivasan, started off, attempting to grasp how serotonin, a neuromodulator between the brain and the gut, triggers fat loss. They conducted a series of experiments on Caenorhabditis elegans, or roundworms, whose simple metabolism and capability to produce neurological signals similar to those of the human brain make them the go-to lab organisms.<\/p>\n

Erasing roundworms\u2019 genes one by one in order to determine their relevance for serotonin\u2019s fat-paring faculties, the scientists identified the fat-reducing effects of FLP-7, which had previously been linked to muscle contraction. Released by brain neurons, which respond to heightened levels of serotonin, FLP-7 flows into the circulatory system, switching on the fat-effacing process in the gut, without impacting food intake. What is even better, FLP-7 exhibits none of serotonin\u2019s side effects that range from dizziness to mood swings to headaches.<\/p>\n

Before you rejoice, however, these preliminary findings are still to be subject to further, more comprehensive tests. And, it might be years, before FLP-7-enhanced weight-loss drugs hit the shelves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
