    Details of the study were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the official journal of the National Academy of Sciences
    .

    The scientists initially investigated the biological function of HDAC11, a lysine decapsulating enzyme, and determined that deleting it in animal models stimulated brown adipose tissue (BAT) formation
    .


    Loss of HDAC11 also triggers "whitening," turning white adipose tissue (WAT) into brown-like adipose tissue


    BAT and beige WAT are unique forms of fat that are stimulated at low temperatures
    .


    BAT and beige WAT produce heat and burn calories


    "Our new study shows that inhibiting HDAC11 promotes β-AR signaling in adipocytes through a previously unrecognized mechanism, lysine myristoylation
    .


    The findings suggest that inhibition of HDAC11 enhances adipose tissue GPCR signaling in GPCRs, laying the foundation for developing treatments for obesity and diabetes


    "There is a lot of additional work that needs to be done before anything like this can be brought into the clinic," Bagchi added
    .


    "This paper only describes a second myristoylated substrate for HDAC11
