New research reveals a brain-fat tissue feedback loop that influences aging
Posted:
A new study reveals a vital brain-fat tissue feedback loop that plays a pivotal role in aging. The research identifies specific neurons in the hypothalamus that, when activated, signal the body’s fat tissue to release energy, facilitating physical activity and brain function. As this feedback loop deteriorates with age, health problems associated with aging become more prevalent.
