The transformation of "bad" fat "good" - a new word in the fight against obesity

American scientists have found that white adipose tissue - "bad " - can be turned into a storm . While the experiment was conducted only on animals, but this important discovery could make a significant contribution to the fight against obesity.

It is known that fatty tissue in the body is of two kinds. "Good" brown fat tissue has been thought for a long time, there is only little children , but recent studies have shown that it is in adults . It is brown fat actively involved in energy metabolism and has the ability to burn calories. But with age, on the basis of overeating and lack of physical activity, our body accumulates the white adipose tissue .During the experiment, the scientists suppressed in rats effect of protein , which stimulates appetite. In this part of the "bad" white fat has turned to brown - and it "worked " even at very high-calorie diet !The researchers now hope that this result can be repeated and the human body. In case of success this will develop fundamentally new methods of treating obesity. Although , of course, making small smart changes in diet would result in a much lower-cost changes.
