Scientists figure out how to turn bad fat into good fat

All those people who need to burn body fat can already celebrate! Scientists at the University of Texas School of Medicine Health Science Center have been able to figure out how to turn bad fat into good fat, improving metabolism and enhancing the burning of unwanted calories. This is a breakthrough in the endocrinological sector of medicine.

The responsible for this is a protein called GRB10. It acts as a switch for the mTORC1 path, which controls this fat conversion. With the cold, GRB10 is stimulated and the body burns more energy. Consequently, adipose tissue that causes obesity and type 2 diabetes can be eliminated from the body.

Better Understanding How Fat Works

Fats (also known as adipose tissues) are important regulators of metabolism. In our body there are two types of them: white and brown. The most harmful of these is white. It is what makes us fat, brings serious metabolic diseases, among other complications to our lives.

When we eat, everything is stored in our body in the form of white fat. This fat tissue needs to be eliminated so that we can maintain the ideal weight and be free of health problems. Finding out how to turn this fat into brown fat is valuable so we can burn off the energy and get rid of the extra nutrients.

This release of bad fat has high power for treating obesity and related diseases. Dr. Feng Liu, author of the study, says the mTORC1 pathway is also linked to aging, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Therefore, all of this is also useful for searching other fields.
