New Found Hormone may help Dieters lose Weight

Researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine in California have discovered a hormone, which they dubbed obestatin, that suppresses appetite and produces weight loss in rats.

Interestingly, the hormone is derived from the same gene that gives rise to ghrelin, a well-known appetite-inducing hormone.

Nothing new on the block. No hormone will help us lose weight if we do not watch what we eat and exercise. Sometimes it is easy to blame on hormones but weight gain should be not blamed on hormones. How about to be honest and we start blaming ourself and not hormones?
