Sentences with phrase «additional fat accumulation»

The studies on the stem cells derived from fat suggest that additional fat accumulation within cells is promoted by exposure to low - calorie sweeteners in comparison to cells not exposed to them, in a dose - dependent manner, which means that fat droplet accumulation increased in the cells as the sucralose dosage is increased.

«Our stem cell - based studies indicate that low - calorie sweeteners promote additional fat accumulation within cells compared with cells not exposed to these substances, in a dose - dependent fashion — meaning that as the dose of sucralose is increased more cells showed increased fat droplet accumulation,» said Sabyasachi Sen, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. «This most likely occurs by increasing glucose entry into cells through increased activity of genes called glucose transporters.»
