Obesity - New findings
The BMP8B, a protein that could be key
Groups Biomedical Research Center in Red-Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition (CIBERobn) Neur Obesity University of Santiago de Compostela, led by Dr. Miguel Lopez and Molecular Biology and Gene Regulation of Adipose Tissue and pathology, University of Barcelona, led by Dr. Francesc Villaroya, just discovered a new system of regulation of brown fat or brown adipose I otejido brown, key in the battle against obesity.
The demonstration that manage BMP8B protein known as the hypothalamus region of the brain, in experimental animals, active brown adipose tissue or brown and light switch radiator calories paves the way for the pharmaceutical industry and the development of medications to help control body weight in humans.
The intercéntrico study and international, which have also helped other groups in Iowa (USA), Stockholm (Sweden) and Cambridge (UK) as the overall coordinator of the work, published in the May issue of the prestigious journal Cell, the publication of major impact in the field of biomedicine and molecular biology. link at the bottom.obesity and food
