New York, 4 March (IANS). A team of American researchers has discovered in a study on brown fat that it can help people stay physically fit with aging.
The study was conducted by the team of New Jersey Medical School at Ratgers University. The team found that a specific gene deficient mice developed a highly powerful form of brown fat, increasing their lifetime and improved their work capacity of about 30 percent. Based on this discovery, the team is working on a drug that can mimic these effects in humans.
“As you grow up, work ability decreases and it will be very beneficial for healthy aging,” said Stephen Water Stephen Waternar, senior writer of the study published in the university professor and aging cell, and it will be very beneficial for healthy aging. “
He also said, “This mouse model works better than its normal colleagues.”
Brown fat, unlike white fat, works in calorie burning and helps to control body temperature. This study also showed that brown fat increases exercise capacity by improving blood flow to the muscles during physical activity. Genetically modified rats produced abnormally more active brown fat and did not show about 30 percent better work capacity than normal mice, both in speed and tired time.
This discovery is part of research conducted on healthy aging. These included a protein deficiency rat called RGS 14 to live for about 20 percent more than 20 percent, and female rats lived longer than male, which was like a pattern of human life. This study is expecting that this discovery can improve human lifetime, so that people will be able to enjoy good mental and physical health for a long time.
“With all medical progress, humans have increased aging and longevity, but unfortunately, there is no increase in healthy aging.”
He also said that it is necessary to develop many diseases related to aging such as obesity, diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, etc., and new medicines based on healthy aging models.
