Blueberries can 'switch on fat-burning mode' in muscle cells

A compound naturally found in blueberries may turn on 'fat-burning' mode in the body's cells, accelerating weight loss, a study from researchers in Japan suggests.

Blueberry compound shows promise in helping muscle cells burn excess fat, Japanese researchers find

Scientists at Shinshu University in Japan have identified a natural compound in blueberries and grapes that helps muscle cells break down stored fat called pterostilbene. The compound works by stabilizing a key protein called PPAR?, which controls fatty acid oxidation in muscle tissue. Unlike synthetic drugs that activate PPAR? directly, pterostilbene prevents the protein from being degraded, keeping more of it available for fat metabolism. T…
