Abstract (original English)
Removing certain essential amino acids from the diet is known to promote weight loss in rodents via effects on food intake and energy expenditure. Two complementary articles by Varghese et al [Nature 643(8072)] and Lee et al [Nature Metabolism 7(6)] now show that cysteine depletion through combined dietary and genetic means in mice evokes a unique stress response in the liver to amplify these metabolic outcomes and offer a potentially new treatment option for obesity.
What this study does not prove
