Mapping nerves that supply brown fat a step toward new obesity treatment

Researchers have mapped the complex nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue, otherwise known as ‘brown fat’. It’s the first step in developing a way of stimulating the nerves to burn fat as a novel treatment for obesity and related metabolic co… Continue reading Mapping nerves that supply brown fat a step toward new obesity treatment

Scientists get fat cells do the heavy lifting for weight loss

Finding the molecular key that will see fat tissue turn from white to brown has huge potential for obesity treatments, and for weight loss in general. Yet the cellular code has been a hard one to crack. Now, scientists believe they’ve edged a step clos… Continue reading Scientists get fat cells do the heavy lifting for weight loss
