Reduce belly fat without surgery

Have you ever wished you could translate body fat to make your belly and chest bigger without surgery? That vision could become a reality, at least in the mouse.

Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which stress stimulates mouse weight gain. By modifying this process, they can selectively add fat to the experimental animals.

"We cannot believe that the adjustment of body fat is possible, but countless different experiments over the past four years have proven it, at least in mice," the author said. save Professor Zofia Zukowska at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington.

"We hope this result will lead to control of metabolic disorders. Reducing the amount of fat in the rat's abdomen also reduces fat in the liver, skeletal muscles and helps control insulin resistance, hypotension. glucose loading, blood pressure and inflammation ".

"We know more than a decade that there is a link between chronic stress and obesity," said researcher Herbert Herzog at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia. "Now we have found the exact mechanism, a sequence of molecular events, linked to stress with obesity."

The researchers found that neurotransmitters (NPY and receptor receptors (Y2R) are activated when under stress, leading to obesity and metabolic disorders in rats fed with fat. injecting into abdominal fat components prevent Y2R, they can eliminate obesity and metabolic disorders.

"We hope in the near future pharmaceutical companies, based on the results of our research, can develop antagonists with Y2R to reduce fat cells," Herzog said.

At the same time, Professor Stephen Baker also pointed out that the ability to selectively add fat will be very helpful in cosmetic correction, such as facial regeneration, breast tenderness, buttocks and lips.
