The system could possibly assist people drop fat cells while preserving muscle mass.

Speaks with health authorizations about the study are thought about next year. Rivus is readying to evolve HU6 in obesity-related cardiac arrest while producing data in other environments. A stage 2 trial in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis just recently accomplished registration and gets on track to provide topline data in the very first one-half of next year.
