Hope for Brown Fat Fourth-Regenerating Factor
Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elhashemy
April 19, 2009
Brown fat, or Brown Adipose Tissue "BAT", is present in relatively higher volumes in newborns because they are more susceptible to heat loss due to their larger surface area-to-volume ratio, also due to their inability to generate heat by other means, such as by shivering.
Scientists had believed that BAT deposits shrink with age and are nearly completely lost by adulthood.
However, according to three studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine in April 2009 edition, show that most adults have - unexpectedly - some active deposits of this calorie-burning type of fat.
The summary of these three researches entails that scientists found that adult humans - against old believes - had brown adipose tissue, also that slim adults had more of it than fatter ones.
These latest three studies show that brown fat may not disappear in adults and that little collections of brown fat may account - in part - for why some people are protected from obesity and diabetes 2 while others are not.
Brown Adipose Tissue "BAT" is mostly concentrated in the lower part of the neck and the upper part of thorax and inter-scapular region in infants.
Brown Adipose Tissue is rich in mitochondria, the calorie burning "batteries" inside each cell that supply the human cells with energy.
Regeneration of BAT remains a challenge to many scientists who are interested in managing obesity. Among the theories postulated to induce this regeneration are:
1. Turning on a trigger protein BMP-7, known to promote the development of brown fat, this protein could encourage myoblast cells that normally produce muscle cells to produce brown instead of white fat cells. This theory has been advanced by Prof. Dr. Ronald Kahn.
2. Transplant brown fat cells into a person who is obese to help their bodies to burn more calories.
3. Elhashemy´s Triple Boost, which aims at activation and multiplication of the existing BAT in the adult human body through:
I. Potent anti-oxidants
In my opinion, BAT is reduced in adults due to damage resulting from exposure to pollutants, and this - also in my opinion - may be the cause why researchers found that males have lower percentage of BAT (due to their higher exposure to pollution).
I usually advise my patients to use blueberry, which is one of the richest foods in anthocyanins & pterostilbene. Small volumes of blueberry (Luqaimat in Arabic language) when taken frequently (up to 7 successive times within seven hours in each day) may result in immersing BAT in a serum of highly concentrated and potent anti-oxidant resulting in BAT detoxication.
II. Inter-scapular muscle exercises (using dumbbells) daily:
In my opinion this will increase blood supply to inter-scapular region, hence activating BAT aggregated in that area.
III. Inter-scapular ice bags several times per day:
In my opinion this will activate bat cells, which is known to respond positively to very low temperature.
Nowadays, I am researching a fourth boosting factor which involves a certain ingredient in natural foods that I believe it may help in doubling BAT weight. This approach will give the same results as if we cloned BAT. I intend to announce this fourth BAT-regenerating factor very soon.
