Cutting a single amino acid from the diet caused rapid, drastic weight loss in mice by converting white fat into calorie-burning brown fat. The study reveals a powerful new mechanism for weight loss ...

A biotech startup based in Uruguay has successfully completed early-stage human trials for a first-in-class drug that targets ...

Consuming fewer calories is largely accepted as a way to improve health and lose weight, but a recently published study in Nature Metabolism points to a specific sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine ...

The first human-tested weight-loss drug that burns calories through creatine-based heat generation, without reducing appetite, has successfully completed its Phase I trial.

Researchers have uncovered hidden biological changes in fat tissue during weight loss, including cellular cleanup and energy-boosting recycling mechanisms. Scientists have, for the first time, closely ...

In a long-term process called thermogenesis, brown fat cells create heat to keep the body warm. When you are cold for a long enough time, the white fat cells are forced to start acting like brown fat.

Consider the delicate web of fat in a Wagyu steak. The "marbling" that makes carnivore connoisseurs swoon is a visual ...

As mentioned, strength training can help you burn more calories during and after your workout. This is thanks to the lean ...

Weight loss reverses much of this damage, especially senescence in fat and vascular cells, but leaves some immune dysfunction behind.

When brown fat — calorie-burning adipose tissue once thought to exist only in infants — was discovered in adults 15 years ago, obesity medicine researchers started searching for ways to help ...

RNA sequencing of the GIPR-expressing cells provided insight into a molecular mechanism by which GIPR regulates weight loss. GIPR overexpression in the animals’ adipocytes resulted in increased ...
