People imagined during the cold months can end up with low body mass index and low fat around internal organs, imagined in hot weather, found in a new study.
Research published in journal this week Nature metabolism, A possible role in affecting a person’s physiology during his life highlights the weather conditions.
Obesity today is a major risk factor for death, experts last year warned that more than one billion people worldwide live with a very high level of body fat.
Although exercise and diet are the major factors affecting the body fat content, a major role also appears when in contact with cold and heat.
A special type of fat called brown fat tissue produces heat to help the body maintain its main temperature, especially in a cold environment and in newborns.
White fat tissue, by contrast, is the primary reserves of the body’s energy and also acts as a hormone-survived organ.
When the temperature decreases, the body naturally stores low fat in the form of white fat tissue, as it occurs in warm conditions.
The factors affecting brown fat tissue activity are poorly understood, however, the researchers behind the study, including Takeshi Yonesiro of the University of Tohoku, Japan, say.
Research 683 Analyze brown fat tissue density, activity and heat production in healthy men and women, whose parents were exposed to cold or warm temperatures during conception and birth.
Participants of the age group between three and 78, who were conceived during the cold season, were finished with high brown fat tissue activity, which were associated with high body energy expenditure, more heat production, low internal fat accumulation and low BMI in adulthood.
Researchers say, “Here we report that mothers of individuals imagined during the cold season have increased high -brown fat tissue activity, adaptive thermoshesis, daily total energy expenditure and lower body mass index and intestine fat accumulation.”
Brown fat tissue activity is the conclusion of studies, mainly affected by a major variation in daily and lower surroundings. “Excessively ups and downs in daily temperatures during low exterior temperatures and fertilization periods are the major determinants of brown fat tissue activity,” it says.
Researchers call for further studies with a more diverse population set to detect the underlying mechanisms behind this link.
They hope to determine how diet and other environmental factors affect this link.
