Japanese Scientists find Hunger Molecule

Scientists in Japan discovered nesfatin-1, what they call the "hunger molecule". This molecule is released from the hypothalmus in the brain and tells mammals when they are full and to stop eating. By injecting nesfatin-1 into rats brains, the rats ate less and lost weight. Similiarly, when the absorbtion of nesfatin-1 was blocked, the rats continuted eat as they were never triggered "full."
This might be one of the more important iadvancements in treating obesity which is a serious problem in developed countries. Many other methods are continually being discovered; however this is specfically related to the body's molecular process.

Now that scientists have identified nesfatin-1, all they have to do is make it, test it, produce it, package it, get it approved, sell it, and you've got a diet pill!
