Study in Mice Discovers Injection of Heat-Generating Cells Reduces Belly Fat

Study in Mice Discovers Injection of Heat-Generating Cells Reduces Belly Fat | Longevity science | Scoop.it

The injection of a tiny capsule containing heat-generating cells into the abdomens of mice led those animals to burn abdominal fat and initially lose about 20 percent of belly fat after 80 days of treatment.

 

Researchers conducting the study were surprised to see that the injected cells even acted like “missionaries,” converting existing belly fat cells into so-called thermogenic cells, which use fat to generate heat.
