A Closer Look At Uranus’s Moons Reveals a Surprising Dark Side

A New Obesity Pill May Burn Fat Without Suppressing Appetite

wired.com Emily Mullin 2026-03-20 05:00:00

An experimental obesity pill that works in a different way from the wildly popular Ozempic may help people lose weight, according to results from a small, preliminary human trial. Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs reduce food intake by stimulating a feeling of fullness. They act on the brain to promote satiety and on the gut to slow the movement of food through the stomach, helping people feel full longer. As a result, people on the drugs lose weight because they eat less. But a new drug may be ab
