The Wild Animal Nutrition and Reproduction Research Group led by Jin Wanzhu, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, confirmed the direct transplantation of brown fat in mice, and confirmed that the direct transplantation of brown fat can significantly inhibit weight gain induced by high-fat diet, improve insulin resistance, and increase the body's energy Metabolism can also restore fatty liver caused by obesity to normal levels.
Jin Wanzhu said that there are two kinds of fats, white and brown, in the human body. The former stores energy and the latter burns energy. Brown fat is rich in blood vessels, nerves and mitochondria, and its mitochondria convert adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into heat through a decoupling reaction. But with age, the activity of brown fat gradually decreases, and the activity will obviously decrease with the occurrence of obesity.
"The data shows that functional brown fat is generally hidden in the human body, and they may play an important role in the process of fighting obesity and related metabolic diseases and aging." Jin Wanzhu said.
However, in the nearly 500 years after the discovery of brown fat, there has been no direct evidence that it is directly involved in the body's energy metabolism.
This time, through the experiment of mice directly transplanted with brown fat, the scientists directly proved that brown fat has a direct heat-generating function through in vivo experiments for the first time. Previously, some scientists guessed the thermogenic function of brown fat through regression analysis, etc., Jin Wanzhu said, but "this is the first time that it has been confirmed by experiments that brown fat is a good thing."
"Through mouse experiments, we directly confirmed that brown fat has anti-obesity function, but it still has a long way to go in clinical application." Jin Wanzhu said that the study opened up a new brand for the development of a new generation of anti-obesity and diabetes drugs Way.
