Best Cardio Machines For Fat Loss - Scientists Discover How 'Bad' Fat Can Turn Into 'Good' Fat
Tuesday, (health news) - unhealthy white fat can be transformed into brown fat burning from calories, report researchers.
Finding a way to burn calories without having to increase levels of physical activity can be crucial in the fight against obesity and health problems that provokes, according to researchers at the University of Texas University in Galveston.
Previous studies have shown that when brown fat is "linked" in people, metabolism increases and reduces blood sugar levels. This study discovered that white fat in people can be transformed into brown fat, but only after severe and prolonged stress of adrenaline release. Specifically, the white-fat white key was found in patients who have suffered severe burns in about half of their bodies. The study was published in the August 4 issue of the journal cell metabolism."Our study provides concept proof that darkening of white fat is possible in humans. The next step is to identify the mechanisms that support this effect and then develop drugs that mimic the effect induced by burning", author Study Sidossis Labros, an internal medicine professor at the Medical Branch of the University of Texas, said in a university news version.
