Experimental compound helps burn fat without muscle loss

Researchers at UC Berkeley have discovered a new compound called TOFA that helps burn fat without losing muscle mass.

In experiments with mice, TOFA improved insulin sensitivity and reduced triglyceride levels while preserving lean muscle. This innovative approach could revolutionize treatments for obesity and diabetes, making it an exciting development in metabolic health.
