Drug mimics beneficial effects of fasting in mice (IMAGE)
Caption
An investigational cancer drug that starves tumors of their energy supply also shows evidence of improving whole body metabolism, according to a new study in mice from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Shown are sections of liver from mice on a high-fat, high-sugar diet. On the left, more white space indicates greater fat accumulation in an untreated mouse. On the right, in a mouse treated with the drug, the liver shows less fat accumulation.
