Experimental compound helps burn fat without muscle loss
A decades-old compound may point to a new way of treating obesity by making the body burn more energy rather than simply reducing appetite. In mice, TOFA increased energy use by as much as 18%, reduced body fat without significant muscle loss, and improved blood sugar, triglycerides, and fatty liver disease. It also produced stronger results when combined with GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound.
In mouse experiments, researchers warned that TOFA is effective in improving insulin sensitivity and glucose control
American researchers revealed an experimental compound that showed a capacity to reduce fat and improve diabetes and fat liver indicators, without a significant loss of muscle mass, but the results are still limited to experiments performed on mice.
I have found an alternative to Ozempic that burns fat without touching the muscle. The nuance: for the moment it only works in mice. What is TOFA and why it sounds different The study is signed by researchers from the University of California at Berkeley and published in 'Science Advances'. They have worked with a molecular compound called 5-tetradeciloxi-2-furoic acid, which abbreviates as TOFA and which sounds like tongue-bending. It is not en…
