Scientists have found that there are cells in the brain that can reduce inflammation in adipose tissue.
Japanese scientists have found that some brain cells can reduce inflammation in adipose tissue caused by cardiovascular disease.
According to the material published in the journal Cell Reports, the discovery was made by specialists from the National Institute of Physiological Sciences.
They conducted experiments on obese mice and found that brain neurons in the department responsible for hunger and metabolism secrete the protein SF1, which reduces inflammation in white subcutaneous adipose tissue.
At the same time, mice whose brains lacked neurons expressing SF1 gained significantly more weight on both normal and high-fat diets.
Now scientists hope that by activating these neurons, could lead to the development of new treatments for obesity and related diseases.
