Making Metabolism More Inefficient Can Reduce Obesity
Rated Oct 04 2008 • 5 reviews • medical science, physiology • sciencedaily.com
Making metabolism more inefficient can reduce obesity
"In a discovery that counters prevailing thought, a study in mice has found that inactivating a pair of key genes involved in 'fat-burning' can actually increase energy expenditure and help lower diet-induced obesity. These unusual findings might lead to some new roads in weight-loss therapy."
Certainly looks like a different approach -- the inactivation of normal fat-burning brought about the activation of less-efficient pathways, meaning that the mice had to burn more fat than normal to stay warm. The analogy given is that you burn more wood by warming your house with an open fire than with a well designed wood stove.
