Beside can reduce the risk of some dangerous diseases such as heart disease and dementia, cod-liver oil or fish oil also can reduce body fat. And this is the other advantage of using cod-liver oil for our body.
According Indian Express as cited by Detik Health (12/22/2015) show us that researchers from Kyoto University, Japan, found a way to transform fat-storing cells (white) into fat-burning cells (brown). This method uses a fish oil that activates receptors in the gastrointestinal tract to burn the sympathetic nervous system and induces the cells to metabolize fat storage.
One senior researcher, Teruo Kawada said that he know that fish oils have great benefits for health, including the associated accumulation of fat. He eventually tried to examine the possible link between fish oil with beige fat cells.
Beige cell is one type of fat cells that have the same function with that brown fat as energy reserves in the body when excess fat. This cell is a cell that is newly discovered.
the researchers tested using two groups of mice. One group was given a high-fat diet. While other groups of rats were given fish oil.
Mice who were given fish oil to lose weight about 5 to 10 percent. Not only that, the mice were also lose fat around 15 to 25 percent of heavy weights.
The researchers also found that the cells formed from the creamy white fat cells when the sympathetic nervous system is activated. This causes the cells of a particular fat storage will acquire the ability to keep the body's metabolism.
