Solving the Mystery of Why Blocking and Stimulating a Brain Receptor Helps Weight Loss
Researchers headed by a team at the Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge, have solved the mystery of why both stimulating and blocking a particular receptor, or switch, in the brain can help people lose weight. Their study in mice indicated that the answer lies in where the receptor, called GIPR, is located. The results showed that stimulating this switch in the brainstem suppresses appetite, while the same effect can be achieved by blocking it in the hypothalamus. The researchers say their findings could help in the development of more effectiveness therapeutic strategies.
