Sentences with phrase «fat cell conversion»

In a recent study, the university researchers show why the inflammatory responses that often occur in overweight people block this kind of fat cell conversion.

Not exact matches

The findings, published today in the journal Cell, give new insights into how the brain regulates body fat and may lead to more effective ways to lose weight and prevent obesity by promoting the conversion of white fat to brown fat.

«Inflammation halts fat - burning: Immune responses prevent conversion into slimming cells.»

Further work showed that DNA - PK promotes conversion of nutrients to fat and decreases the number of mitochondria, tiny organelles in the cells that turn fat into energy to fuel the body.

In their recent study, the UCSF team reports the discovery that a class of commonly prescribed Type - 2 diabetes drugs, called TZDs (thiazolidinediones, such as Actos and Avandia), promoted the conversion of white fat cells into brown (in mice and culture dishes) by stabilizing the PRDM16 protein.

Apparently, as more stabilized PRDM16 accumulates in white fat cells, it eventually reaches a concentration high enough to flip the gene - controlled switch that begins the desired conversion to brown fat.

As a person gets older and the growth hormone production slows down, and individual notice and begin experiencing certain symptoms like the degeneration of cells and tissues, poor functioning of certain organs in the body, a slow rate of conversion of body fat for energy and a decrease of muscle development, and low energy.

Insulin signals body cells to uptake glucose for energy, stimulates the formation of glycogen, and stimulates the conversion of glucose to triglycerides to be stored as fat.

For example, carbohydrates are necessary for proper thyroid activity (specifically conversion of T3 to T4), and also because high concentration of free fatty acids can actually inhibit proper thyroid binding to it's cell receptor, a very high fat diet that excessively restricts carbohydrates lowers metabolism and causes weight gain by inhibiting thyroid activity.

A more recent study found that cold applied to human neck fat initiated the conversion [21] of white fat cells into brown ones.

The conversion of carbohydrates or protein into fat is 10 times less efficient than simply storing fat in a fat cell, but the body can do it.

What «fixes» them in the fat cells is their conversion to triglycerides.

If you eat a high - carb diet, then, by the time the excess glucose has been converted to saturated and monounsaturated fat by your liver and fat cells, you do have access to something closer to full - cream milk, and this conversion doesn't require fermentation.

If a person has a neutral or positive state of general metabolic energy, glycerine may be (at least partially) excreted unchanged, metabolized into phoshoglycerides for use within cell membranes, or used in the conversion of extra dietary calories into body fat.

It is our speculation by maintaining high insulin sensitivity, when carbohydrates are brought back during competition the slight insulin response actually speeds delivery of glucose to cells and conversion of glucose to ATP without seriously impacting high level fat metabolism.

The problem with obesity is that the conversion from testosterone to estrogen mainly happens in fat cells.

Once the cell becomes insulin resistant, then it no longer disposes of excess glucose by fat conversion.

It binds to fat and burns it right away to avoid the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which results to an increase in fat loss as water is being shed from inside the cells.
