What's more, these extra and enlarged
fat cells produce abnormal amounts of different hormones.
In a recent study published in Science Translational Medicine, Kahn and colleagues reported cell surface markers that can distinguish both white adipocytes and the "metabolic-beneficial" brown or beige
fat cells (3).
Also, such procedures target
fat cells under the skin which are the most visible and the easiest to get rid of, rather than deeper within.
Fat cells are not just a burden; they're essential to normal life.
The reverse was true for thigh
fat cells, which increased in number - but did not get bigger.
'The ability to convert
fat cells into fat-burning cells may suggest novel therapeutic strategies for obesity.'
6 ( ANI ): Good news for people who wish to eat fat and lose weight at the same time, as team of researchers has identified a pathway to prevent
fat cells from growing larger that leads to weight gain and obesity.
"Going forward, it means that what you want to study for potential therapies are the beige
fat cells in these 'hotspots' we're all walking around with," said Spiegelman.
Radioactive carbon-14 produced by above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s has helped researchers from Lawrence Livermore (Calif.) National Laboratory determine that the number of
fat cells in the human's body--whether the individual is lean or obese--firmly is established during the teenage years.
The correlation between these two factors leads to an interruption of
fat cell development, which could result in issues with fat storage within the cells and it getting into the bloodstream.
The makers say that once the formula liquifies the
fat cell it's then passed through urine over a three-week period.
It gently cools unwanted
fat cells in the body to induce a natural, controlled elimination of
fat cell without harming surrounding tissue, and the treated
fat cells are gone for good.
