Age related belly fat : Have you ever wondered why our waist wide and stomach fat starts growing as age increases. American scientists have discovered the answer to this question. A new research has been done to understand the reason behind this. This shows why there are changes in the body with increasing age. Research conducted by the American City of Hope institution revealed that with increasing age, the production of special type of fat cells in our body starts increasing, especially in the area around the stomach, which increases fat.

Why grow fat

King Wang and his colleagues, the chief member of the team, who research on diseases like cancer and metabolism, found that most people believe that only the body increases with aging, but it does not just grow by increasing the size of fat cells, but new fat cells are also built. Wang said, “With aging, a new type of adult stem cells become active, which increases the production of fat cells in the body, and this increases the fat of the stomach.”

Experiments conducted on mice

During this research, scientists experimented on mice, which were later applied to human cells. Research found that white adipos tissue (WAT), which causes fat with aging, has the ability to produce new fat cells. The shocking thing in research was that when he was transplanted to young mice by taking special adipocyte projector cells (APCs) from aged mice, he rapidly created new fat. Not only this, when these sales were put into old mice from young mice, their effect remained completely upside down, that is, new fat cells started to be constructed in old mice.

Important role of LifR signaling

Scientists also discovered that a special signaling pathway, called Lifr, controls the production of fat cells with aging. This signaling is active to make fat cells in old mice. It was clear from this discovery that with increasing age, this pathway promotes the manufacture of fat, which accumulates more fat around the stomach.

Hope of new treatment

This research also indicates that in the coming time such new treatment can come, which can control this signaling path and reduce stomach fat. Scientists believe that on the basis of this discovery, we can work on new measures to reduce age -related obesity.
