Researchers have found a metabolite in Burmese pythons that suppresses appetite in mice without some of GLP-1's side effects. And humans make it, too.

Pythons eat huge meals after monthslong fasts. Researchers identified molecules that skyrocket in their blood after a meal. One caused obese mice to eat less and lose weight, similar to semaglutide.

A molecule produced in abundance by pythons after big meals could lead the way to new weight loss drugs, a University of Colorado study says.
