The cure for obesity found in muscle tissue

Receiving one tablet replaces hour visit to the gym! With the opening of the Boston researchers from the Cancer Institute Dana-Farber dream of millions of people can be realized within a few years.

Biologist Bruce Spiegelman and MD Pontus Bostrom found a way, how to turn a "harmful" white fat into useful "brown." Hormone synthesized them into muscle tissue, was the best cure for obesity in the history of science. However, while experiments with irisinom performed only on mice.

Discovered by scientists hormone irisin (named after the ancient Greek messenger of the gods), converting fat cells rasschiplyaet fat reserves, it releases energy and helps the body's normal thermoregulation. It reduces the level of glucose in the blood, thus protecting from obesity.
"Brown" is derived from body fat at elevated fiznagruzki. But injections iristina significantly accelerate this process. The researchers tested the effect of the hormone in the obese mice. He really helped them lose weight. No side effects, experts have not noticed. A hormone secreted by mice is very similar to a human, so further research by American scientists interested people from all over the world.
"Pioneers" iristina already received funds for its further study. National Institute of Health gave them $ 34 million.

"If the injection does contribute to the transformation of white fat to brown, we get the full" magic pill "- agrees with Western scientists Russian expert on the treatment of obesity Ekaterina Alexandrova. - But even if foreign colleagues successfully test this hormone in the human body, it will be years before cure for obesity will be ready. In addition, he will most likely be a lot of side effects, so it is seriously count on salvation from illness, I do not advise it. "

Obese or overweight is characterized by excessive body fat. This fat is deposited literally everywhere: in the subcutaneous tissue around the kidneys, on the surface of the heart, in the abdomen, in the neck.
