Discover a new type of fat in humans

Dana-Farber Institute of Medicine scientists (USA) have discovered that in brown body fat brown and white fat also has another type of light pinkish brown (often called 'be' color).

These fat cells are very similar to brown fat cells and have the same function as brown fat, meaning that when burning reduces the amount of excess lipids, produces heat, but it is fundamentally different from brown fat. Genetic properties and biochemical properties.

As before, there are two types of fat in the body, brown fat and white fat. Brown fat burns white lipids to produce heat. Scientists believe that brown fat is found only in animals and young people, but later they are found in adults.

The type of beige fat may be a new way to study methods to treat obesity.

The finding suggests scientists mobilize these fat cells to fight obesity. In their opinion, beige fat cells can kill body fat.

From now on, American scientists have added to the fat list an additional type of beige fat. They claim that beige fat despite burning fat in white adipocytes, like brown fat, is a type of independent fat tissue that is not a variation of brown fat. In older adults, fat is made up of small concentrated blocks under the skin, along the spine and next to the collarbone.

In general, scientists believe that brown fat previously found in adults is actually beige fat. Although their nature is very similar, their tissue shape is very different and their origins are different.

Brown fat cells are made up of stem cell precursors, like muscle cells, and beige fat cells are a special precursor, formed by white fat cell accumulation. Greasy beige fat cells are as effective as brown fat cells.

Scientists believe that attention should be shifted to beige fat cells for use in preventing obesity and regulating metabolism.
