A recent study that has been carried out at the University of Rochester has shed light on the relationship between fat cells and weight gain. According to the research, the Thy1 protein has an important role to play in primitive cells turning into fat cells. This research sheds light on the role of Thy1 protein in the development of fat cells and weight gain and its importance in the prevention of obesity and related conditions. So far, obesity and weight gain are predominantly viewed as behavior-related subjects, and therefore diet pills that have emerged on the market for treating obesity also contain anti-addiction and antidepressant medicines. However, these medicines have yet failed to address the molecular-level activity of the cells contributing to fat cell accumulation. The Role of Thy1 Protein in the Development of Fat Cells and Weight Gain It is interesting to note that the Thy1 protein in itself Read More
