-- HowToLose-10Pounds.com releases a new Consumer Guide on How To Lose 10 Pounds in a safe and effective way. New research has now identified a specific type of protein that helps to promote the breakdown of fat. This protein is often found on the surface of fat droplets, and is abundant in people who are endurance athletes. This protein helps to promote the breakdown of fat for energy, and scientists have identified the protein and believe that it could help them to develop new ways of managing obesity, as well as type 2 diabetes. Adult onset diabetes affects 29 million Americans, and it is one of the top ten causes of death among American adults. According to data collected by the American Diabetes Association, more than one quarter of Americans over the age of 65 suffer from diabetes. The newly identified protein, Perilipin 5, is found in the cell nucleus, and it is used to regulate fat metabolism. Scientists were surprised to find it in the cell nucleus. It was known that it was used for fat metabolism, but not exactly how.
One concern with obesity is that fat can start to build up in areas that are not specialized for that purpose. This can lead to diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular problems. When the body tries to break down fat in large quantities, this can cause the body's metabolic system to become overloaded, and this can lead to insulin resistance - which is one of the markers of type 2 diabetes. The hope is that a drug based on this protein could help to regulate fat metabolism so that the cell's mitochondria are not overloaded - promoting a suitably fast but sustainable rate of fat burning that would help people to lose body fat and also reduce their risk of diabetes and metabolic disorders in the long term. The National Institutes of Health part-funded the initial study, and more work is being carried out on mice this year.
