New Hormone Drug Tests Weight Loss
Description
A new clinical trial is launching at Pennington Biomedical to test a groundbreaking hormone drug for weight loss, pitting it against calorie restriction to see which works better—and how it reshapes metabolism. Led by Dr. Eric Ravussin at LSU, the NOVO EXPENDITURE study seeks adults aged 18–65 with a BMI of 30+ to spend nights in metabolic chambers, wear activity trackers, and undergo daily weigh-ins, MRIs, and DXA scans. Participants may be compensated and receive detailed health insights, plus optional muscle and fat tissue biopsies.
