The work reveals a key mechanism in how this organ processes sugars and fats in the body One study identified a liver protein that acts as a fundamental "sensor" for the liver to adapt to the transition between fasting and feeding. Published in Science Advances magazine, the work reveals a key mechanism in how this organ processes sugars and fats, which has direct implications for diseases such as diabetes, obesity and metabolic liver disease. T…
Recognise it, you too are mouthed with water just by smelling the freshly baked bread. It’s not a whim: your brain has already started working long before you give the first bite. And now, at last, science has caught the trick it uses. A team from Hospital Clinic-IDIBAPS and Yale University has just published in Nature Metabolism the brain mechanism that anticipates the arrival of food and that, when it fails, it can lead us straight to obesity …
The work, published in the journal Nature Metabolism, is led by Alicia Garcia and Marc Claret, of the research group Neuronal control of IDIBAPS metabolism, and Marc Schneeberger, of the Yale School of Medicine. Traditionally, food intake control has been considered a mainly reactive process, regulated by signals that appear once the nutrients have already arrived in the body. However, recent studies have shown that the brain can also activate a…
