Blocking brain enzyme helped mice stay slim

There's hope for you rodent-brained fatsos.

"Blocking a single brain enzyme helped short-circuit a key hunger signal in mice and made them eat less, lose weight and have better blood sugar control, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday."

Of course, it is not yet ready for prime time.

"While much more research lies ahead, they said the finding may lead to new treatments for obesity and diabetes in humans."

And it won't be ready until they do enough research to make something they can sell you.
