Obese Mice Lose a third of their Fat using a natural Protein

ummary of the pathways impacted by chronic BP3 treatment in liver and WAT in obese mouse models. BP3 enhances FGF/FGFR signaling and downstream activation of Akt and IL6/Stat3 that lead to the inhibition of gluconeogenesis, through Ppargc1a/G6pc downregulation. The parallel activation of Akt and Stat3 results in an inhibition of Ppargc1b and/or Srebf1, key regulators of downstream lipogenic enzymes, thus leading to the inhibition of de novo lipogenesis and TG synthesis.

To the great surprise of cancer researchers, a protein they investigated for its possible role in cancer turned out to be a powerful regulator of metabolism...
