A new study found that mulberry can treat obesity, according to an online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net One of its active ingredients routines activates brown fat, thereby speeding up the metabolism.
Familiar since childhood sweet mulberry fruits have many poorly studied medicinal properties.
As the scientific experiments of recent years show, mulberry can reduce cholesterol, normalize the level of sugar in diabetes, and even protect against certain cancers.
Now Chinese scientists have taken up routine - a widespread plant substance found in mulberry, citrus, buckwheat, fruit and berries. It turned out that routine helps to accelerate fat metabolism. By the way, rutin is a part of many multivitamin complexes, dietary supplements and well-known drug ascorutin.
Regular use of violet fruits will reduce the risk of diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, heart attack, cancer. The benefits of mulberry are reported by The FASEB Journal.
"Although lifestyle changes - proper nutrition, physical activity - continue to be an ideal medicine for obesity, some plant substances will also help in the fight against this serious illness," says Wang-Choo Jin, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology of the People's Republic of China.
Rutin activates brown fat.
In the course of their study, Chinese scientists gave laboratory mice drinking water with a routine (1 mg per milliliter of water). One group of animals was genetically predisposed to obesity, while in the second group obesity was caused by malnutrition.
The experiment showed that in both groups, routine activates metabolic processes in brown adipose tissue, which is accompanied by increased energy expenditure, normalization of glucose homeostasis (balance between insulin and glucagon), and reduction in fat stores.
Recall that brown fat is activated by cold, when the body begins to produce more heat to maintain a stable temperature ("heating"),.
Scientists say that routine imitates the effects of cold on brown fat tissue, triggering the same processes.
If these results can be reproduced on a person, then we can talk about a new drug against obesity. The pharmacological effects of routine have long attracted the attention of scientists, and the high maintenance of routine in many fruits and berries provides unique opportunities.
Eat fruits, and will not know problems with excess weight, cholesterol and sugar.
