Found Way to make Cells burn Fat, Curb Obesity

                Scientists have found a new way for stimulating the body to burn fat instead of storing it, a breakthrough that may help fight obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the study, researchers focus on a protein known as folliculin and its role in regulating the activity of fat cells. By knocking out the gene that produces folliculin in fat cells in mice, researchers triggered biomolecular signals that switched the cells from storing fat to burning it. This process is known as the ‘browning’ of fat cells.
