Gold nanoparticles can offer significant weight loss that focuses on fat (lipid) tissue, without affecting muscle structure.

Researchers from Egypt 's Alexandria University found that weekly doses of AuNPs significantly reduced body fat, increased muscle mass and boosted metabolic markers in obese animals.

The high weekly dose group saw an average of 36% fat loss, which was more effective than daily high doses ( 33% ) and significantly better than the rats on orlistat ( 18% ).
