A new weight loss injection makes patients feel full
July 28, 2005

British researchers developed a new natural digestive hormone injection called Oxyntomodulin to treat the world's growing epidemic, Obesity. As soon as the injection is released in the small intestine, it reduces the appetite stopping people from eating more. Experts at the Imperial College, London believe that Oxyntomodulin can tackle the rising obesity levels in the society. The injection showed no side effects. With more clinical tests and research on the anvil, the prescription should be made available in about five years.

Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other illnesses. Childhood obesity is also a matter of intense concern. About 300 million people worldwide are obese and by 2025 the figure could rise to 333 million according to the World Health Organisation report.
