Three opioid receptors in the body serve as a target for stopping obesity, say researchers. "Our study provided further evidence that opioid receptors can control the metabolic response to diets high in fat and sugar, and raise the possibility that these gene products (or their respective pathways) can be targeted specifically to treat excess weight and obesity," said Traci A.

New Drug Target for Stopping Obesity Identified
