Decades-old compound TOFA burns fat without muscle loss — boosts GLP-1 drugs too

A decades-old compound called TOFA may offer a new approach to obesity treatment by boosting the body's energy use rather than suppressing appetite. In mice, it increased energy expenditure by up to 18%, reduced body fat without significant muscle loss, and improved blood sugar, triglycerides and fatty liver disease. Combined with GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, results were even stronger.
