Researchers at the University of Alberta in Canada have found that when exposed to the blue light emitted by the sun, our off-cortical fat cells shrink, according to US media.
"When the blue light from the sun penetrates our skin and reaches the fat cells under the skin, the fat droplets shrink and release from the cells," said peter Wright, senior author of the study, director of the Alberta Diabetes Institute at the University of Alberta and professor of pharmacology, according to the Daily Science website. In other words, this allows our cells not to store too much fat.
, on the other hand, we live in a northern climate where we don't get enough light for eight months of the year, which may contribute to fat build-up and cause some of us to gain weight in the winter. He
that the findings were preliminary observations and that weight loss through sun exposure was not a safe and recommended method.
, for example, we don't know the intensity and length of light required to activate this weight-loss mechanism, " he said.
said the new findings will open up new avenues for future scientific exploration that could one day lead to drugs and optical therapies for obesity and other related health problems such as diabetes.
mechanism may have played a role in determining the number of fat cells we produced in childhood, " speculates Mr. Sularette. Mr
said: "It was a by accident. We noticed this reaction in human tissue cells in a negative controlled experiment. We know that further research is important. '
results, the fat cells we accumulate near the skin may be an outer biological clock, ' he said.
The study is still in its early stages, but it's not a huge leap forward in the assumption that the light that controls our body's circadian rhythms through our eyes may have the same effect on fat cells near our skin," Wright said. "
