Experimental medication boosts metabolism in muscles rather than suppressing appetite like GLP-1 drugs
Published December 10, 2025
"Our results point to a future where we can improve metabolic health without losing muscle mass," said Tore Bengtsson, professor at the Department of Molecular Bioscience at Wenner-Gren Institute, Stockholm University, in the release. "Muscles are important in both type 2 diabetes and obesity, and muscle mass is also directly correlated with life expectancy."
This is based on a Phase 1 Clinical Trial.
"Looking ahead, the company that developed the drug, Atrogi AB, plans to conduct a larger phase 2 clinical trial with a larger, more diverse population, including people with obesity."
