A traditional Chinese berry from Nitraria roborowskii Kom. has been shown to restore healthy fat metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity in diabetic mice, suggesting potential for holistic diabetes treatment beyond conventional drugs.
Scientists have discovered a new role for hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in the nucleus of fat cells, where it helps maintain healthy adipose tissue, explaining the paradox of fat loss in HSL deficiency and opening new avenues for understanding metabolic diseases like obesity and lipodystrophy.
Scientists discovered that neurons can burn fat for energy and produce their own fats during high demand, a process dependent on DDHD2. In conditions like HSP54, where DDHD2 malfunctions, neurons lose this ability, but fatty acid supplements can restore their function within 48 hours, offering hope for neurodegenerative disease treatments.
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a drug called EVT0185 that inhibits an enzyme involved in fat metabolism in liver cancer cells, which not only reduces tumor growth but also activates B cells to attack the cancer, offering a promising new approach for treating liver cancer associated with fatty liver disease.
A study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that microbes in kombucha tea produce fasting-like effects on fat metabolism in worms, suggesting potential health benefits for humans. The microbes alter gene expression to reduce fat stores, but further research is needed to confirm similar effects in humans.
When you lose weight, the fat in your body doesn't just disappear. It metabolizes to produce waste products, mainly water and carbon dioxide. The water is expelled through urination and sweat, while the carbon dioxide is breathed out. To aid in weight loss, experts recommend eating natural foods, prioritizing breakfast, staying active through exercise, and watching portion sizes.
