Mice fed a low-protein diet (one third of normal) and having specific strains of intestinal bacteria underwent browning of white fat, leading to increased calorie burning.

Low-protein diet shifts fat tissue into burn mode

Not all body fat is created equal. There is white adipose tissue, which stores excess energy, brown adipose tissue, which burns energy, and a third category known as “beige” fat. This type of fat can emerge from white fat under certain conditions and take on the energy-burning properties of brown…

Scientists discover a hidden system that turns brown fat into a calorie burner

Scientists have identified a key biological system that helps brown fat burn energy by building the networks it needs to function. A protein called SLIT3 splits into two parts, with each piece guiding the growth of blood vessels and nerves inside brown fat. These structures allow the tissue to pull in nutrients and rapidly convert them into heat instead of storing them as fat.

Cutting key amino acids from mouse diets triggers weight loss through heat burning

It's not pleasant to shiver from the cold, but for some, it has the appeal of making the body burn more energy as heat than when staying in a warmer environment. According to several studies, exposure to cold is a reliable way to boost energy expenditure in mice and humans. This process of burning energy through heat loss is called thermogenesis.

Novel way to 'rev up' brown fat burns calories, limits obesity in mice

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a novel way brown fat—an energy-burning form of fat—can rev the body's metabolic engine, consuming cellular fuel and producing heat in a way that improves metabolic health. The study, in mice, reveals new avenues to exploit brown fat to treat metabolic diseases, such as insulin resistance and obesity.

🧬 Could your body fat be the future of cancer therapy?
A new study in Nature Biotechnology reveals that genetically modified fat cells can starve tumors by consuming their fuel – glucose.
With CRISPR-based “beige” fat cells, researchers achieved over 50% tumor reduction in several cancer types – without cold exposure.
