STUDY: Carotenoid in brown seaweed has potent anticancer properties

July 21, 2023 - adipose tissue, the type of body fat that helps burn calories by generating heat (thermogenesis) to regulate your body temperature. Fucoxanthin has been found to increase the expression of UCP1 in white adipose tissue, the type of fat linked to obesity. This not only increases mitochondrial respiration (cell metabolism) but also promotes the burning of fat for energy.

While increasing UCP1 in white fat cells, studies show that fucoxanthin can also decrease ...

Study links midlife obesity and belly fat to cognitive aging

June 13, 2023 -

For their study, researchers at Iowa State University (ISU) analyzed data collected over the span of six years from a cohort of cognitively unimpaired adults who were in their late midlife. They found that the participants' cognitive performance was greatly influenced by two things: the amount of lean muscle mass they had and the amount of visceral adipose tissue they managed to accumulate.

Visceral adipose tissue refers to the deeply hidden "belly fat" ...

Compound in wakame seaweed found to have anticancer properties

February 28, 2023 - adipose tissue (WAT). Also called white fat, WAT often accumulates in the abdomen. The other three groups did not report any reduction in their white fat levels.

Aside from WAT levels, the Japanese study authors found mice fed with U. pinnatifida had higher levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Also called thermogenin, UCP1 plays a key role in the body's natural production of heat that burns off fat. However, UCP1 is usually expressed only in brown adipose ...

STUDY: Green tea, black tea and matcha tea found to suppress dioxin toxicity

February 24, 2023 - adipose tissue, and in the hepatic lipid stores, where they possess a half-life of 4 to 15 years.

Dioxins also enter the body through dietary exposures. Once inside the body, dioxins transform the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), allowing dioxins to bind and disrupt cell cycles. Remarkably, the pigments in green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) suppress the transformation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor induced by dioxins, particularly 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin ...
