Researchers from the University of Michigan led the study of a rare genetic disorder called familial partial lipodystrophy ...

A new genetic study links higher levels of specific fat molecules to increased ALS risk. Fat metabolism in the body was identified as a relevant pathway in ALS susceptibility. The scientists say ...

The researchers focused on a rare inherited condition called familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2). People with this ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered a completely new mechanism by which fat cells (adipocytes) control how they store and release fat. The results of the study change our ...

Scientists discovered that damaged fat cells can become inflamed, lose their ability to store lipids, and eventually vanish, disrupting the body’s metabolism. The findings show that diabetes can ...

Got a sluggish metabolism? That could make it harder for you to lose weight or stay lean! Thankfully, eating foods that speed up your metabolism can help your body burn excess calories. This guide ...

Uncovering the mystery of why individuals born with mutations in the gene that encodes HSL—the cytosolic enzyme that releases energy from fat—lose fat instead of gaining it, Dominique Langin, PhD, ...

This article was reviewed by Craig Primack, MD, FACP, FAAP, FOMA. Are fat-burning foods a thing? There's no magic food that melts fat or instantly speeds up your metabolism — but we have good news.

Beneficial gut microbes and the body work together to fine-tune fat metabolism and cholesterol levels, according to a new preclinical study by investigators from Weill Cornell Medicine and the Boyce ...
