A new study has revealed the neural mechanism responsible for fat breakdown. Weight is controlled by the hormone leptin that acts in the brain to regulate food intake and metabolism.
However, it was largely unknown until now, how the brain signals back to the fat tissue to induce fat breakdown. Now, a breakthrough study led by Ana Domingos at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia (IGC; Portugal), in collaboration with Jeffrey Friedman's group at Rockefeller University (USA), has shown that fat tissue ...
