Summary

This study tested whether a substance called Lac-Phe, which the body makes during exercise, can reduce appetite and lower blood sugar in healthy overweight or obese adults. Twenty-three participants received either Lac-Phe or a salt solution on separate days, then ate a meal and answered questions about hunger. The goal was to understand how this exercise-related molecule works outside of physical activity.
