Mechanisms that prevent excessive storage of lipids in tissues besides adipose tissue are necessary for maintaining a physiological state that achieves optimal insulin sensitivity, thereby avoiding ...
Muscle movements generate body heat. However, body heat can also be generated in another way: body fat contains a small number of brown adipose cells – special fat cells that can generate heat without ...
Researchers at the University of East Anglia and the University of Cambridge have made an important discovery in the race to find treatments for obesity and related diseases, such as diabetes. A new ...
An international team of scientists is one step closer to unlocking the molecular mechanisms at work in fat tissue, which could ultimately lead to treatments to effortlessly ‘switch on’ calorie ...

NEW DELHI: Researchers have for the first time revealed the molecular structure of a protein that allows "good fat" to burn off calories, an advance that could lead to treatments for obesity and ...
Creating a negative energy balance to lose weight is easy in principle but difficult in practice in a sedentary society. Indeed, achieving a sustained increase in energy expenditure through regular ...
Body fat contains a small number of brown adipose cells -- special fat cells that generate heat without muscle activity. They do this using a protein known as UCP1 that enables babies or hibernating ...
The uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) is found exclusively in brown adipose tissue. Until some years ago it was thought that only babies and hibernating animals had brown adipose tissue, but since then it ...
