Researchers from Cornell University have discovered that inducing the production of beige fat can help reverse a slowing metabolism, potentially preventing metabolism disorders and age-related weight gain. Unlike white fat, which stores energy, beige fat is a type of fat that helps to burn calories. The study identified that mice with increased beige fat had a higher metabolic rate, meaning that they burned more calories than those without it. The research could lead to novel approaches for tackling obesity and metabolic issues.
Study finds inducing beige fat production reverses slowing metabolism
New research suggests that inducing the production of beige fat can help to reverse a slowing metabolism, potentially fending off age-related weight gain and preventing metabolism disorders. Beige fat is a type of fat that helps to burn calories, as opposed to white fat, which stores energy. It is hoped that the findings will lead to ways in which people can safely and effectively fight obesity and associated metabolic disorders.
