The scientists are hopeful that one day their discovery will be utilized to treat obesity. A new signaling molecule that compels brown fat cells to burn more energy has been found by researchers. Fat cells often hold energy. Brown fat is a biological heater because energy is wasted as heat in brown fat cells. As a result, most mammals have this system. Human babies are kept warm by brown fat, and brown fat activation is positively correlated with cardio-metabolic health in adults. But today, Prof. Dr. Alexander Pfeifer from the University of Bonn's Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology says, "We're toasty warm even in cold." Therefore, the body's own furnaces are not as frequently required. We consume a food that is growing increasingly energy-dense while also moving much less than our forebears did. These three things harm brown fat cells: They gradually stop working altogether and disappear. On the other side, the number of people who are excessively overweig...
