TOFA Could Revolutionize Weight Loss | Science News

Scientists at UC Berkeley are pioneering a bold new approach to obesity and diabetes by boosting the body’s natural energy burn—without dieting. Their compound, TOFA, turns fat into fuel, helps mice shed weight and improve blood sugar, and even outperforms existing drugs when combined with GLP-1 meds. Unlike appetite-suppressing drugs like Ozempic, TOFA preserves muscle and avoids nausea. Though still in animal trials, this promising discovery could revolutionize weight-loss treatment—and a startup is already underway to bring it to patients.
