No Bronx, em Nova York, um endocrinologista chamado John Eng estudava o veneno do monstro-de-Gila. Um réptil lento, peçonhento, dos desertos do sul dos Estados Unidos. O bicho era capaz de passar meses sem comer. E durante todo esse tempo, mantinha o açúcar no sangue estável. Eng isolou no veneno uma molécula chamada exendin-4. Ela se parecia com um hormônio humano que regula a fome e a produção de insulina. Mas durava muito mais tempo no organismo do que a versão humana.
