HKBU-led research identifies new regulatory mechanism of satiety and therapeutic target for obesity

The most effective way to tackle obesity is to reduce food consumption, but obese people often encounter difficulties in regulating their dietary habits as they lose their sense of satiety. Identifying a factor that specifically controls body weight, and investigating how it regulates our sense of satiety, is crucial for the development of therapeutic approaches for obesity.

Hot-blooded T. rex and cold-blooded Stegosaurus: chemical clues reveal dinosaur metabolisms

For decades, paleontologists have debated whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded, like modern mammals and birds, or cold-blooded, like modern reptiles. Knowing whether dinosaurs were warm- or cold-blooded could give us hints about how active they were and what their everyday lives were like, but the methods to determine their warm- or cold-bloodedness-- how quickly their metabolisms could turn oxygen into energy-- were inconclusive.
