In addition to the main complaints of gastrointestinal issues, some lesser-known side effects have emerged, including mood changes, hair loss and “Ozempic face.” Now, there are rumblings on social […]

ASCO: GLP-1 receptor agonists may reduce risk for obesity-related cancer, all-cause death

For adults with diabetes and obesity, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are associated with a reduced risk for obesity-related cancer compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, according to a study scheduled to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held from May 31 to June 4 in Chicago.

Cysteine Deficiency Drives Weight Loss by Depleting CoA

This research paper explores the impact of amino acid restriction on weight loss, focusing on the unique effects of cysteine deficiency. The study demonstrates that cysteine restriction in mice, particularly those with compromised cysteine synthesis, leads to rapid and significant weight loss, primarily through fat reduction. This weight loss is linked to the activation of stress responses, reduced levels of key metabolites like CoA, and resulting metabolic inefficiency, […]
