Actually in the human body three different fat cells There are varieties. While white fat cells store calories, beige fat cells burn calories. Scientists have succeeded in replacing white fat cells with beige ones, although so far only in mice.

White fat cells from three different fat cells in our body stores structures called lipids And if the number of these cells increases too much, we become heavier. Brown fat cells are used to provide energy, but by the age of one, we burn almost all of these structures.

A new era in weight loss can begin

Beige fat cells They remain throughout our lives. These structures can be used both to store energy and to produce energy. White fat cells can change into beige cells during exercise or when exposed to cold. Scientists also began working on artificially realizing this process.

Brian Feldman and teamIn their research, they revealed that the type of fat cells they turn into largely depends on the protein KLF-15. Scientists who suppressed this protein in mice later showed that the mice had beige fat cells.

Scientists are now using this protein can temporarily suppress aims to develop a method. This way, weight loss can become much easier and new diet systems can be created.
