Moving Body Fat And Growing It Somewhere Else
CAN fat be exported to slimmer regions?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Researchers have figured out how to remove fat from one part of the body and make it grow in another part — at least in mice — and say their findings could benefit health as well as beauty.
Their findings also shed light on how and why stressed-out people so often gain weight.
“We don’t think this is something that would be used for gross obesity, but for reshaping the body for use with pockets of fat … that would be all very good,” said Dr. Zofia Zukowska of Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, who led the study.
