Therefore, there is still an unmet need for therapies. Researchers have now discovered a small group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus of mouse brains that influence eating behavior and weight gain.

Researchers have discovered a specific group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the brain that influences eating behavior and weight gain. These nerve cells are controlled by the hormone leptin ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight -- without causing nausea. A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem ...

In further analyses, the researchers found that around 10% of these nerve cells have a receptor for the hormone leptin. Leptin is produced in adipose tissue and suppresses appetite in the brain.

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight – without causing nausea. The discovery, made at the University of Gothenburg, could ...
