Scientists have discovered the cellular cause behind the increase in abdominal fat with age

New York, April 27 (IANS). A team of American researchers has detected the cause of age -related abdominal fat, which helps to understand why our backs get wide by reaching the middle of old age. This research has been published in the Science Journal, and its findings expect new treatment methods to develop to prevent stomach fat and increase a healthy lifetime in the future. This research was done by ‘City of Hope’. Arthur Rigs Diabetes and Metabolism Research Institute of the City of Hope at the molecular and cellular endocrinology associate professor Ciong (Anabel) Wang said: “People lose muscles with aging and increase the fat in the body, whether they live the same.” He added: “We have found that a new kind of adult stem cells come into the body with aging and accelerate the production of new fat cells around the stomach.” Wang and his team, along with UCLA Lab-co-author Shia Yang, experimented on mice, which was later confirmed on human cells. Researchers focused on the white edipose tissue (WAT), which is the adipose tissue responsible for age -related weight gain. Although it is known that fat cells are growing up with age, researchers have suspected that what has also yielded new fat cells, which means that there can be no limit to its growth. To test their estimate, researchers focus on adipocyte projectors (APCs), which are a kind of stem cells that occur in what appears, which turn into fat cells. The team first took APCs of young and old mice and transplanted it to young mice from other groups. The APCs extracted from old mice created many new fat cells. When the team transplanted APCs from young mice to old mice, these stem cells did not create much new fat cells. These results prove that the old APCs themselves have the ability to create new fat cells. This conclusion shows that it is very important to control the construction of new fat cells to handle the age -related obesity. -Ians as/ share these story tags
