Exercise can even burn off fat in bone marrow

Marrow also produces fat, but the physiological role of bone marrow fat in the body—and even whether it is beneficial or harmful for one's health—has remained somewhat mysterious. In these respects, the marrow fat of exercising obese mice looked virtually identical to the marrow fat of lean mice, even those that exercised. Or, because both fat and bone cells come from parent cells known as mesenchymal stem cells, it could be that exercise somehow stimulates these stem cells to churn out more bone cells and less fat cells. Predictably, the obese mice started with more fat cells and larger fat cells in their marrow. Generally, marrow fat has been thought to comprise a special fat reserve that is not used to fuel energy during exercise in the same way other fat stores are used throughout the body during exercise.




Exercise may help burn bone fat and improve quality Updated: May 19, 2017 15:20 ISTWashington D.C. [USA], May 19 (ANI) : Whether you are lean or, exercising is imperative in your daily life, as a study finds that exercising burns the fat found within the bone marrow and improves bone quality in a matter of weeks. The tests also revealed that exercise improved the thickness of bone, and that this effect was particularly pronounced in obese mice. One group was fed on a normal diet (lean mice) and the other received a high-fat diet (obese mice) starting a month after birth. "In just a very short period of time, we saw that running was building bone significantly in mice," Styner added. The studies of bone biomechanics showed that the quality and the strength of the bone is significantly increased with exercise and even more so in the obese exercisers.

Want to burn bone fat and make them strong? Start exercising daily!

A new study has found that exercising helps to burn the bone fat and also improves the bone quality in a matter of weeks. New York: If you want to burn the fat found within bone marrow and make them strong, then start exercising regualarly. Although research in mice is not directly translatable to the human condition, the kinds of stem cells that produce bone and fat in mice are the same kind that produce bone and fat in humans. The finding also suggests that obese people who often have worse bone quality may derive even greater bone health benefits from exercising than their lean counterparts. Styner said,"In just a very short period of time, we saw that running was building bone significantly in mice."
