Rich, Stimulating Environments Convert White Fat To Brown And Help Resist Obesity



A rich, stimulating environment for fat people.
Lab mice living in a rich, stimulating environment do not become obese when given an unlimited food supply because a brain chemical called neurotrophic factor makes them convert energy-storing white fat cells into energy-burning brown fat cells. The scientists who discovered the biological mechanism that switches on this conversion process believe it opens the door to new obesity treatments.
To bad they will never fit.
