Brown and beige fat are considered "healthier" than white fat. New research suggests that targeting the Id1 protein may help to reverse obesity by increasing levels of brown fat and reducing white fat, which is commonly found on the belly. New research finds that high levels of a certain protein may increase obesity by suppressing the energy-producing action of brown and beige fat. Additionally, a third type of fat can develop from white fat, as "beige" cells can form there when activated by certain stimuli. Brown fat, on the other hand, specializes in expending that energy by creating heat during exposure to cold temperatures, in a process known as thermogenesis.

How the Id1 protein may raise the risk of obesity, diabetesThe protein is called Id1, and previous research has connected it with prostate cancer.
