Cornell researchers have found that stimulating beige fat cell production may help prevent age-related weight gain and associated health issues. By suppressing a specific signaling pathway, beige fat production was increased in older mice, potentially offering a therapeutic approach for humans. N
New research from Cornell’s Division of Nutritional Sciences suggests that stimulating the production of beige fat cells could reverse the effects of a slowing metabolism and help prevent age-related weight gain, obesity, and associated health disorders. Beige fat cells, a subtype of white adipose tissue, share thermogenic properties with brown adipose tissue, helping reduce blood sugar and fatty acids that contribute to heart disease.
By stimulating the production of a certain type of fat cells, the effects of a slowing metabolism could be reversed, according to a new study by researchers in Cornell’s Division of Nutritional Sciences, which is housed in the College of Human Ecology and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
“There are seasonal changes in beige fat in young humans,” said Dan Berry, assistant professor in the Division of Nutritional Sciences, “but an older person would have to stand outside in the snow in their underwear to get those same effects.”
