There's a new molecule that turns bad fat to good. Its called beta-LGND2, which binds to estrogen sites. Is there a natural form of this substance that is easily obtainable?
New research, published online in The FASEB Journal, suggests that activation of a chemical called Beta-LGND2 by the estrogen receptor Beta (ER-Beta) reduces obesity and metabolic diseases in mice by converting bad fat (white fat) to good fat (brown fat). This is significant as brown fat increases metabolism and may facilitate weight loss.
"Although there is a general misperception that obesity is not a life-threatening condition, obesity is the underlying cause for several diseases that could result in mortality," said Ramesh Narayanan, Ph.D., M.B.A., a researcher involved in the work from the Department of Medicine and Director of the Center for Cancer Drug Discovery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee. "Safe and effective treatment for obesity is highly needed, and targeting ER-β might be one of the strategies to safely combat obesity."
