Perelman’s medical school scientists University of Pennsylvania opened protein, which allows you to quickly get rid of excess weight with a sebaceous glands. This is stated in the study published in the Science journal. This is the first weight loss method in history, in which the proteins of the immune system are involved, and not hormones.
Opening managed to do unexpectedly. Specialists studied the proteins of the immune system associated with the development of allergies. In particular, they searched for signaling molecules that are responsible for suppressing allergic reactions and controlling the body’s reaction to insulin.
In the course of the experiment on rodents, the attention of researchers attracted TSLP protein, which not only suppressed allergies, but also prevented the development of a second-type diabetes in mice suffering from extremely severe obesity forms. Further observations showed that TSLP not only reduced their insulin immunity, but also sharply reduced the body weight.
For the month of experiment, the weight of mice fell almost twice – from 45 to 25 grams, which is the norm for healthy individuals. Then scientists conducted a detailed analysis of the effect of protein on the body. It turned out that this substance was not affected by the brain of rodents or their fat deposits, but on the sebaceous glands in their skin. TSLP sharply increased the activity of sebocytes – cells producing skin fat, which forced the body of mice to constantly transport lipids from fat deposits into the sebaceous glands, from where they almost immediately left the rodent organism.
In the near future, scientists plan to check whether this technique of weight loss is effective and for a person.
