Țesutul adipos „își amintește” obezitatea. Cum ar putea această „memorie” să îngreuneze pierderea în greutate

A recent study from Japan suggests that obesity may leave a cellular 'memory' in immune cells, complicating weight maintenance after loss. Researchers found that certain immune cells in adipose tissue undergo lasting changes that affect fat burning. These alterations persist even after weight loss, potentially explaining the difficulty many face in keeping off lost weight. The study highlights the role of alternative splicing in these cells, which may contribute to obesity's long-term effects. While findings were primarily based on mice, they open avenues for new treatments targeting these cellular processes.
