Two promising approaches to finding effective weight loss drugs have been presented at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society.
Animals given one experimental drug showed "dramatic" weight loss, according to scientists.
In another early study, in men, the love hormone oxytocin appeared to help reduce appetite.
Experts said a weight loss pill would be like finding the Holy Grail, but they also raised concerns about safety.
Much more work is needed to check these approaches will be safe to use in humans, they told the conference in San Diego.
