Scientists Convert White Fat Cells to Calorie-Burning Beige Fat

UC San Francisco researchers discover protein suppression method that may lead to new obesity treatments.

The study identifies KLF-15 protein as key to converting white fat cells into beige fat cells.
Experiments showed that reducing KLF-15 in white fat cells led to their transformation into beige fat.
The findings could pave the way for new weight-loss drugs targeting the Adrb1 receptor in humans.
Previous methods focused on stem cells, but this new approach works directly on existing fat cells.
Further research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of this method in humans.
