FGF19, a hormone, signals the brain to increase energy expenditure and activate fat-burning cells, presenting a novel approach for obesity treatment. It boosts thermogenesis and reduces inflammation, contingent on sympathetic nervous system activity. Researchers found that cold exposure elevates FGF19 receptor expression in the hypothalamus, suggesting a role in temperature regulation throughout evolution. Current research focuses on finding ways to naturally increase the body’s production of this potent metabolic hormone to combat obesity.
