Has a safe cure for obesity been found? (Image Source: AI-Generated)
Prater, New Delhi. Researchers at Australia's University of Technology Sydney have developed some experimental medicines that directly target the 'mitochondria' of our body. This new discovery can bring a revolutionary change in the treatment of obesity.
What is this new technology?
The main target of this research is 'mitochondrial uncoupler'. These are special molecules that change the way the body uses energy.
In simple language, our cells normally store energy, but these new molecules cause the cells to release energy from the body in the form of 'heat' instead of storing it efficiently. This simply means that the body burns more calories.
How does this 'fat burning' formula work?
Lead researcher and Associate Professor Tristan Rawlings has explained the process in a very simple way:
There is often a fear of side effects of weight loss medicines, but in this research, special attention has been paid to safety. Researchers have found that:
"Mild mitochondrial uncouplers slow the process of energy consumption only to a level that cells can comfortably tolerate."
Its advantage is that there is no bad effect on the body and fat also starts reducing. This new understanding has helped scientists understand how safe molecules behave differently, which may pave the way for future safe treatments for obesity.
