Summary
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder studied python blood to understand how the snakes can survive on extreme diets. They found a metabolite called para-tyramine-O-sulfate (pTOS) that suppresses appetite in mice. The study suggests that pTOS could be used as a weight-loss drug for humans, potentially treating obesity and age-related muscle loss.
