Health › Re: New Way To Loose Fat By Scientists by okonja(m): 12:47am On Oct 30, 2014
What about writing the whole story like this and put your blog as the source?

Researchers at the University of Bonn have discovered a new signaling pathway to combat excess body weight. The number of overweight persons is greatly increasing worldwide — and as a result is the risk of suffering a heart attack, stroke, diabetes or Alzheimer’s disease. For this reason, many people dream of an efficient method for losing weight. An international team of researchers led by Professor Alexander Pfeifer from the University Hospital Bonn, have now come one step closer to this goal. The scientists discovered a new way to stimulate brown fat and thus burn energy from food: The body’s own adenosine activates brown fat and “browns” white fat.

“Not all fat is equal,” says Professor Alexander Pfeifer from the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the University Hospital Bonn. Humans have two different types of fat: undesirable white fat cells which form bothersome “love handles,” for example, as well as brown fat cells, which act like a desirable heater to convert excess energy into heat. “If we are able to activate brown fat cells or to convert white fat cells into brown ones, it might be possible to simply melt excess fat away” reports the pharmacologist.

The group of Prof. Pfeifer together with an international team from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, as well as from the Helmholtz-Center Dresden-Rossendorf and the University of Düsseldorf now discovered a new signalling molecule capable of activating brown fat cells: adenosine. Adenosine is typically released during stress. Crucial for transmitting the adenosine signal is the adenosine receptor A2A.
Adenosine activates brown adipose tissue

“If adenosine binds to this receptor in brown fat cells, fat burning is significantly stimulated,” reports Dr. Thorsten Gnad from Prof. Pfeifer’s team. It was previously thought not possible for adenosine to activate brown fat. Several studies with rats and hamsters demonstrated that adenosine blocks brown fat.

However, the researchers from the University of Bonn were not mislead by these previous findings. In contrast, using brown fat cells removed from humans during surgery, the scientists investigated the signaling pathway for fat activation using adenosine. The results showed that rats and hamsters react differently than humans in this regard. “The brown fat in mice on the other hand behaves just as in humans,” summarizes Prof. Pfeifer.

“Browning” of white fat by adenosine

In addition, the research team investigated the possibility that adenosine transforms white fat cells into brown fat cells — a process termed “browning.” White fat cells normally cannot be induced to burn excess fat by adenosine, as they simply lack the A2A receptor. For this reason, the team of scientists transferred the A2A receptor gene from brown fat cells to white fat cells in mice. Consequently, the white fat cells also have A2A receptors and start browning and burning energy.

Clinical application is still far off

As a result, it was possible for the researchers from the University of Bonn to comprehend the significance of adenosine for brown cells in mice and humans for the first time. “Through the administration of adenosine-like substances, the mice actually lost weight,” reports Prof. Pfeifer. However, many questions in this regard still need to be investigated. For this reason, clinical application is still far off.

I usually come across beautiful girls in my area but making a first move has been a very big problem because i do consider myself being ugly and short of words if a lady insults me which makes me blushing at times. Now, the question is what are the ways to woo or toast a lady for the very first time you meet her? And ladies, what are the ideal ways for a guy to woo or toast you? be factual pls. And another thing is that can your ugliness deter you getting a beautiful girl as girlfriend or wife? me im ugly sha bt i nid beautiful gal.
Dream Big, Hustle Hard, Arrival of Money is the Departure of Insult...When you work hard and think Smart, you don't need to talk, your pocket gonna speak and they will chase you around no matter how ugly you are... cool

luluosas:
You missed the point. Have you even seen anyone of us fighting MTN for their action? No.
All I am saying is that we (resellers) caused the initial plan to be readjusted by MTN as it was greatly abused by some us who were offering ridiculous pricing. We are trying to avoid further abuse now that we are limited to 10 shares per plan. Hope you get the picture now.
So, are you coming in or not? Thank you.
Still see it as unnecessary because we are not registered by mtn to be reselling for them..

We are trying to maintain sanity now that MTN had reneged on their policy concerning this SME data share.
Therefore, if you are a reseller of the MTN SME data share, who is not currently in our WhatsApp group, please text your Nairaland username and your WhatsApp phone number to me on 08144845524. You will get to meet other resellers as we come together.
Thank you.
If I may ask, what for? undecided....Even when many people ranted about MTN to reduce data plan for ANDROID users that are even much than the number of reseller, nothing happened...So, what's the coming together gonna bring about?...You think MTN will change her policy because of some resellers?....I doubt it..
