So, the question is:
Do not answer because I already know the answer.
much more to say ... Not here, OK.
Interpretation in the right direction? -
Very interesting new study.
FGF21 overexpression prevents obesity, liver steatosis, and loss of lean mass in gerobese mice fed a HFD. The muscle preserving effect is interesting. Might be the reason people dont loose muscle when doing methionine restriction."... these mice lived up to 3.3 years, resisted weight gain, improved insulin sensitivity, and showed reduced liver steatosis. "
The mice lived about 25% longer than controls. Just from overexpressing FGF21. Pretty impressive. So life- and healthspan was increased.

Here's a study showing N-methylserotonin lowers adiposity and increases liver glycogen.
It has similar effects as serotonin hence im surprised that it has these beneficial effects.
It does seem to activate the serotonin auto receptor (which lowers serotonin) and several other serotonin receptors and it also works like an SSRI.
In the above study it increases transit speed. Maybe that was enough to help with metabolism.Anybody have any idea why that happened?
