Scientists made a key discovery about the mechanism controlling the fat in human body. It sheds new light on how proteins regulate appetite control and insulin secretion.This is the first time such a mechanism was described and it's unique, showing the importance of this protein to cellular function.
CPT1 is the protein responsible for regulating fatty acid oxidation in the liver and is critical for metabolism. Its activity determines whether a person suffers from fatty liver in one case or ketosis in the other.
The discovery will help in better understanding of why some people has a speedy metabolism and others struggle to control their appetite.This would be a major breakthrough in tackling the obesity crisis faced by humans.
