Same workout, different weight loss: Signal molecule versions are key

Published on July 16, 2024

Some people lose weight slower than others after workouts, and a research team found a reason. They studied what happens to mice that cannot produce signal molecules that respond specifically to short-term exercise and regulate the body’s energy metabolism.

Since the team found this connection also in humans, the newly gained knowledge of this mechanism might provide a pathway for treating obesity.
