Brown Fat Sucks Up Excess Glucose In The Blood.

reports that research published in the Journal of Cell Biology suggests that brown fat “acts as a ‘super vacuum’ to suck up excess glucose...in the blood by producing large amounts of a substance that transports glucose into the brown fat cells, where it can be burned to produce heat – a process called thermogenesis.” The blog adds that the research “helps to connect the dots between years of findings suggesting that better understanding brown tissue can lead to new treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2014/11/10/how-brown-fat-the-good-fat-burns-calories-and-could-help-treat-type-2-diabetes-and-obesity/
