| Resumo |
Focuses on the discovery, characterisation and validation of a gene in the brain, named FIT, that regulates body weight. When suppressed in rats, food intake is inhibited and body weight is reduced. FIT regulates both appetite and metabolic rate, and is therefore a new and exciting target for obesity therapy. |
