When isolating the molecule, and administering it to an animal, it also helped reduce appetites and overall weight gain.
Researchers are hopeful that the molecule could be used at the center of weight loss supplements in the future, and until then weight-conscious people can keep this benefit of exercise in mind when planning future programs.
