Change the Evil So Fat Friend


Scientists claim, they managed to find a way to convert body fat into either type of fat that can burn calories and lose weight.
The team of scientists from Johns Hopkins United States made the breakthrough to the mice in the laboratory. They believe the same thing can be done on humans so they will eventually find a way out to overcome obesity.
By modifying the expression of proteins associated with appetite, was not only successful in reducing calorie intake but also to transform the composition of the fat rats.
"Bad fats" has become the good fats are also called brown fat. There are a lot of fat in the baby's body is used as a source of energy to regulate body heat and at the same time spend calories. However, the increasing age of the brown fat will disappear replaced by the "evil" white fat that normally accumulate in the waist.
Scientists say by stimulating the body to make more brown fat than white fat that would be effective to control weight and prevent obesity.
Research team led by Dr. Bi Sheng said the experiments they do succeed do so by stimulating protein called NPY. When the protein was inserted in the rat brain, was successfully suppress appetite and food intake was reduced. Even though the rats were given high-fat foods that their weight remained stable.
Then when the fat composition studied rats, found that bad fats have been replaced by the brown fat is good.
"If it can happen to humans, the calories can be burned, not stored. Later, obesity can be overcome. Future studies will prove whether this is possible," he said.
In humans, according to Bi can be tried by injecting stem cells in brown fat under the skin to burn white fat and stimulate weight loss.
