Brain hormone found to trigger fat burn
Brain hormone found to trigger fat burnBy: Devon Andre Weight Management | Tuesday, January 31, 2017 - 02:00 PMResearchers from The Scripps Research Institute have found a specific hormone that may trigger fat burning. This is the first time a brain hormone has been identified as specifically stimulating fat metabolism without the intake of food being affected. The new study was published in Nature Communications, and it identified a connection between the neuropeptide hormone FLP-7 and serotonin, which led specifically to fat burning. The absence of this neuropeptide within the roundworms resulted in an interruption of the pathway between serotonin and fat burning, identifying it as the hormone responsible for fat metabolism. As a connection between fat burning and serotonin has previously been established, researchers deleted genes within the roundworms one by one in order to see which one disrupted the path between serotonin and fat burning.collected by :Lucy William
