To determine if early-life exposure to these chemicals affects eating behaviors and preferences, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study of 15 male and 15 female rats exposed to a common mixture of these chemicals during gestation or infancy. “Our research indicates that endocrine-disrupting chemicals can physically alter the brain’s pathways that control reward preference and eating behavior. These results may partially explain increasing rates of obesity around the world,” ...

Preclinical studies have shown that KYS2301 has a high affinity for the CCR8 target, and topical application of KYS2301 gel has a good pharmacodynamic effect on the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Toxicology and pharmacokinetic studies have shown that KYS2301 gel is highly safe.
