Intranasal Oxytocin May Allow Weight Loss in Healthy Men

The so-called “love hormone” oxytocin could turn out even more lovely if it proves to be an effective weight-loss drug.

In a first step, a study found that an intranasal formulation of oxytocin cut food consumption by an average of 122 kcal in a single-meal test involving 25 healthy men of varying body mass indexes (BMIs). The results were reported March 8 here at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, ENDO 2015, by Elizabeth A Lawson, MD, from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston.
