An emerging view is that obesity causes metabolic problems when adipose tissue fails to meet the increased demands for fat storage. A study in this issue of Cell Metabolism (Waki et al., 2007) has identified harmine as a proadipogenic small molecule that promotes energy expenditure in white adipose tissue and delays the onset of obesity-associated diabetes.
一种新出现的观点认为,当脂肪组织无法满足增加的脂肪储存需求时,肥胖就会引发代谢问题。发表于本期《细胞代谢》(Waki等人,2007年)的一项研究已确定 harmine 是一种促脂肪生成的小分子,它能促进白色脂肪组织中的能量消耗,并延缓肥胖相关糖尿病的发病。
