The Genetic Variance in Fat Burning

Carbohydrates and fat are the primary fuels our bodies use as fuel, just like gas in the tank of your car. New research at the Monell Chemical Senses Center demonstrates clear genetic variance in the innate ability to burn fat as fuel. In essence, this means that some individuals eating a high fat diet have a genetic weakness to burn dietary fat and are more likely to become overweight....

Viral Induced Obesity

The Washington Post reports on recent intriguing work linking obesity to viral infection. Scientists isolated adult stem cells from fat that had been extracted during liposuction. Such stem cells can potentially turn into many different cells. Culturing these stem cells with the common adenovirus-36 (Ad-36), which causes respiratory and eye infections, caused new fat cells to form which were also more active than normal fat cells at promoting fat storage. Stem cells not exposed to the virus did not form into fat cells.

Men Lose More Weight Taking Fish Oil

A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that men taking fish oil lost the most weight while on a diet, an additional 3 pounds over 8 weeks (for a total of 10 pounds). Eating salmon was also helpful.

Obesity, Fatty Liver, and Nutrient Deficiency

The accumulation of fat in the liver is a significant health problem that clogs liver function, setting the stage for diabetes and other issues. It is typically occurring in direct relationship to one’s expanding waistline. Researchers just showed that stimulating the metabolism of fat significantly helped mice clear up this problem.

Lipoic Acid in Combination with Acetyl-L-Carnitine Activates Fat Cell Metabolism

Fancy experiments with high tech equipment are now becoming the norm. Such research is beginning to unravel the complex mystery of genes and related proteins involved in metabolism. Acetyl-L-Carnitine has long been known to help metabolize fat. Lipoic Acid has long been known to help metabolize carbohydrate. A new study with fat cells show that the two used together, better than either alone, work synergistically to increase the metabolic rate of fat cells.

Carnosine Helps Fat Metabolism

A new study shows that carnosine promotes the normal function of nerves to stimulate the breakdown of fat via histamine receptors.
