New 'secret calorie-burning switch' in brown fat discovered
A breakthrough study has found that brown fat could increase calorie burning and lead to weight loss.
Brown fat, a form of energy-burning fat, can speed up the body’s metabolism through a secret heat-making switch, helping to fight obesity.
It consumes cellular energy and produces heat, improving metabolic health, according to a study published in Nature by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine.
The key lies in an enzyme called ACOX2, found in small structures inside brown fat cells, which keeps working even when the body’s main fat-burning process is shut off, burning certain fatty acids and releasing heat.
The fat has a secret heat-making switch which could help to fight obesity.
