“I think it’s an important result because not only does it say that not all fat is bad, but I think it points to a special aspect of fat where we need to do more research,” Kahn said.

So the next time you’re wondering if those jeans make your butt look big, just remember that your massive caboose may be saving your life.

New research, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, suggests the fat responsible for producing the pear shape flaunted by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce may be active in protecting women from diseases by releasing certain hormones.

Buttock and hip fat may protect women against type 2 diabetes, researchers from Harvard Medical School found.

When buttocks and hip fat from mice was injected into other mice, their bodies easily used the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin and lost weight.

They were also able to make better use of insulin, the main hormone linked to diabetes.

People with the apple shape, where fat is stored around the tummy, can be more prone to type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Those with pear-shaped bodies, where fat is collected in the buttocks, are less likely to have these disorders.

Researcher Dr. Ronald Kahn insisted that not all fat was bad for health.

"The surprising thing was that it wasn't where the fat was located, it was the kind of fat that was the most important variable," he said.

"Even more surprising, it wasn't that abdominal fat was exerting negative effects, but that subcutaneous fat was producing a good effect.

I think it's an important result because not only does it say that not all fat is bad, but I think it points to a special aspect of fat where we need to do more research."

Scientists also monitored the health of the mice given the fat transplants. When it was inserted into the tummy area, the mice lost weight and their fat cells shrank. The researchers will now try to identify the hormones.

Bauchi State governor Mallam Isa Yuguda, and some of his top officials are beinf probed by the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over the spending of N65billion in the past 20 months. Yugudu is billed to marry one of the daughters of President Umaru Yar’Adua this month. The governor’s wives were also accused of squandering about N500million. An ICPC statement reads: "A petitioner resident in Bauchi had on November 7,2008 in a petition titled, ‘Reckless misappropriation of Public Funds,’ accused the governor and top government officials of monumental fraud. The ICPC investigators have started looking into the petition by inviting top government officials for questioning. The petitioner, among other allegations, has accused the Governor and public servants of allegedly withdrawing over N30 billion from the State Government coffers without any adduced reason. That a Chinese firm was allegedly awarded a contract of N1.3 billion for drilling ‘imaginary’ boreholes. That there are daily withdrawals of N20 million from First Inland Bank as overdraft. The petitioner further alleged that a Lebanese construction company was asked to renovate new Tafawa Balewa General Hospital for N586 million. That the Governor allegedly withdrew N279 million from the Local Government Department accounts for relief expenses. That he also withdrew N500 million for the same relief expenses to flood victims. But the petitioner alleged that the funds were allegedly misappropriated by the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs and the Sole Administrator. That the Governor allegedly used the sum of N14 million to clear his goods brought in from Dubai. That he allegedly spent N100 million for its inauguration, and that he also allegedly diverted N16 million from council funds to sponsor Hajj. The petitioner also accused the First Ladies of allegedly squandering over N500 million left in the escrow account."
