00:00a new belly fat injection is getting attention. An experimental drug called CBL-514 cut visceral
00:06fat, the dangerous fat around your organs, by 12% in early human trials. Two phase two trials
00:13used MRI scans. Four weeks after the last treatment, average fat volume fell 12.01%
00:19in the treated group and rose 568% in the placebo group. Visceral fat is linked to type 2 diabetes
00:26and heart problems, and laposuction cannot remove it. Dr. W. Timothy Garvey of the University of
00:32Alabama at Birmingham says weight loss matters more than looks. But these trials are early,
