Cathyjobob,

You arebanned for displying you are "inactive" whilst in the act of "posting" !!! (BTW Congrats again )

You Are BANNED for watching!!!

Boonie, you are banned for still having an avatar with a cat that looks like he ate a Canary. And I do not see Canary on any phase of Atkins, do you? hmmmmmmm? yep, banned for that.

okay, i'm for anwering my own post.

Jo, I remember. I am reintarnated from from long long ago. lol

You are BANNED 4 reminding me of that mysterious substance known as "Baby Fat" which may be something a lot of us would actually like to have for 12 years!

from Brown Fat May Fight Obesity and Diabetes

Brown Fat May Fight Obesity and Diabetes According to researchers of a new study a type of fat in our bodies can actually promote weight loss. The fat, known as baby fat or brown fat, is in abundance when we are children, but usually melts away when we are children, but usually melts away when we enter into our teenage years. Its purpose when we are young, is to help keep our bodies warm, but as we mature and become more muscular, it usually melts away. According to the researchers, from the Joslin Diabetes Center those adults who manage to retain their baby fat when they enter their adult years are less likely to be obese, be diabetic or have high levels of bad cholesterol.
The study featured more than 2,000 participants, with the researchers studying each of their health records for any signs of this "brown fat." They observed that 3.5% of women had signs of the brown fat in their bodies and 3% of men also had it.
Brown adipose tissue is not only present in adult humans, but its activity can be significantly influenced by factors such as body mass index (BMI) and, to a lesser degree, temperature and sex,
"Studies in animals indicate that brown adipose tissue is important in the regulation of body weight," write Wouter D. van Marken Lichtenbelt, PhD, from the Department of Human Biology at the Nutrition and Toxicology Research Institute Maastricht at Maastrict University Medical Center, the Netherlands, and colleagues from the first study. However, "Until recently, the presence of brown adipose tissue was thought to be relevant only in small mammals and infants. Although several early anatomical studies suggested that brown adipose tissue is present in adult humans, its physiologic relevance was believed to be marginal for most."
In all three of the new studies reported in the article, investigators set out to evaluate not only the presence of this tissue but also which factors can affect its activity.
In the first trial, Dr. van Marken Lichtenbelt and colleagues studied the activity of brown adipose tissue in relation to body composition and energy metabolism.
At the end of the study, brown adipose tissue activity was observed in 23 (96%) of the 24 subjects during cold exposure, but not under thermoneutral conditions. Although the level of activity was highest in the supraclavicular region, other sites with activity were also evident.
In addition, nonlinear regression analysis showed that the activity of whole-body brown adipose tissue was negatively correlated with BMI (r, -0.60; P = .002) and percentage of body fat (r, -.60; P = .001), with the mean activity significantly lower in the overweight or obese subjects than in the lean subjects (P = .007).
They conclude, "[In this study,] the percentage of young men with brown adipose tissue is high, but its activity is reduced in men who are overweight or obese. Brown adipose activity may be metabolically important in men, and the fact that it is reduced yet present in most overweight or obese subjects may make it a target for the treatment of obesity."
In the second trial, US investigators analyzed F-FDG PET-CT images for the presence of physiologically significant brown adipose tissue in adults.
They conclude, "Defined regions of functionally active brown adipose tissue are present in adult humans, are more frequent in women than in men, and may be quantified noninvasively with the use of PET-CT. Most important, the amount of brown adipose tissue is inversely correlated with [BMI], especially in older people, suggesting a potential role of brown adipose tissue in adult human metabolism."
In the third small trial, investigators from Finland and Sweden used PET scans to evaluate the activation of brown adipose tissue by exposure to cold temperatures in 5 healthy patients.
Results showed that cold-induced glucose uptake was increased by a factor of 15 (P = .0005) in supraclavicular adipose tissue in all 5 patients compared with an increase by a factor of 4 in white adipose tissue (P = .01).
"On the basis of the data presented and previous findings regarding the metabolism of brown adipose tissue, we speculate that activation of [this] tissue by cold exposure may be important in terms of energy expenditure in humans," the study authors conclude. "We suggest that the presence of [this] tissue in normal adults is worthy of further study and speculate that this tissue might provide a pharmacologic target, given the current obesity pandemic."
"The common message from these studies is that brown adipose tissue is present and active in adult humans and its presence and activity are inversely associated with adiposity and indexes of the metabolic syndrome," writes Dr. Celi.
"And when taken together, these studies point to a potential 'natural' intervention to stimulate energy expenditure: turn down the heat and burn calories." Noting that this strategy is obviously an oversimplification, Dr. Celi concludes, "Nonetheless, these studies...are a powerful proof of concept that this tissue might be used as a target for interventions, pharmacologic and environmental, aimed at modulating energy expenditure."
