How Does Ozempic Really Work? Yale Study Finds a Surprising Brain Mechanism
A Yale study has uncovered a surprising clue about how semaglutide may produce sustained weight loss. In female mice, chronic treatment recruited brain neurons normally associated with hunger, while disrupting those neurons impaired weight-lowering effects. The findings suggest GLP-1 drugs may influence more than appetite alone, although researchers have not yet established whether the same mechanism occurs in humans.
