Abstract
The invention provides materials and methods for promoting weight loss or preventing weight gain in a subject. In particular, the invention provides novel glucagon analogue peptides effective in such methods and in the treatment of obesity, eating disorders, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic liver steatosis. The peptides may mediate their effect by having increased selectivity for the GLP-1 receptor as compared to human glucagon.
