discovered the switch that burns fat activated by the cold

Obesity [VIDEO]: The switch capable of burning fat through the cold was discovered. It is a molecule capable of positively influencing the control of body weight, thanks to the help of cold as a condition capable of producing a particular substance known as " succinate ". The mechanism of action would be based, in particular, on its ability to consume calories by lowering body temperature.

Losing weight with the cold: the mechanism of action of the molecule

organism is capable of producing a particular substance that has the particularity of waking up at low temperatures.

The mechanism, according to the experts, would control body weight, thanks to the consumption of calories by the cold. The novelty emerged from a recent study published in the journal "Nature" and conducted by the Boston Cancer Research Institute "Dana-Farber". The study is based on the molecule "succinate" which, according to experts, opens new avenues for the fight against obesity. The results came after a series of experiments conducted on laboratory rats to which water was administered in which succinate was introduced. The research process has shown that this substance, introduced into the body of mice, has promoted the consumption of calories through the mechanism released by low temperatures. Researchers involved in the study, came to the identification of this particular mechanism, after badyzing a series of substances produced by our metabolism and in particular related to brown adipose tissue, which in practice, able to encourage the consumption of calories unlike the white which accumulates it on the contrary.

It would, indeed, the activity of the muscles and the subsequent absorption by the brown adipose tissue, to store the succinate and determine the subsequent mechanism of action related to the consumption of calories.

Obesity: alarming data from the WHO

Recent findings give hope of a possible new strategy to adopt against obesity and become the mechanism for # 39; action of future drugs [VIDEO] able to control, so targeted, the problem of increasing prevalence of excess weight found in the modern population. It is extremely important to be able to compare what is considered a true epidemic, if we consider the estimates of the World Health Organization, according to which obesity affects more than 2,000 million people in the world. Obesity is also a major problem in our country, especially if we consider the statistical data that show that one in five children in Italy suffers from problems inherent in being overweight .
