(Source: Thinkstock Images)Researchers have found a drug that targets the appetite control system in the brain and could bring about significant weight loss in people with clinical obesity. For the study, published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, the drug was given to a few people with a body mass index (BMI) range of 30 to 45 kg/m2. Consequently the fat loss produced by the drug could be attributed to better control over appetite.
