Localized fat deposits
are areas where fat is accumulated and does not disappear with diet
and exercise. They are found at the face, jowl, neck, arm, abdomen,
back, thigh and hip areas.
They can be aggravated
by the aging process, hormonal changes, poor dietary habits, lack of
exercise and slow metabolism conditions.
About
fat cells
Fat cells are
metabolically active and are well supplied by blood vessels. The fatty acids come
from 3 main sources: dietary fats, fat produced in the liver and
excess blood glucose. About a
fifth to a quarter of adult body weight is made from white adipose
tissue. There are two types of fat; Brown fat and white fat.
Brown fat assist in
burning energy / calories, generates heat and appears as small lipid
droplets.
White fat is the
conventional type of fat which stores energy and is full of lipid
droplets. White fat is always beneath the skin and is the cause of
obesity.
Adipose tissue is the
largest storehouse of energy in the body (in the form of
triglycerides) and makes up 15-20% of the body weight in men and
20-25% of body weight in women. Men are more likely
to get "potbellies" because their fat is stored around the
abdomen, whereas women tend to get heavier hips, thighs and rear
ends.
What
causes LFD
-
Hormones cause the
deposition of fat in specific areas of the body.
-
Aging process slows
down metabolic rate, allowing fatty tissue deposits.
-
Poor dietary habits
and sedentary lifestyle
New research on fat and
weight related health factor
-
Discovery of a protein
"CREB" which controls fat cell development.
-
Scientists discover way
to regulate body's energy expenditure.
-
Potential obesity
treatment: Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) regulates the
balance of fat storage and metabolism.
-
C5L2 a receptor protein
on fat cells, that when stimulated may increase the amount of lipid
stored in fat reservoirs and increase fat production.
-
Mutations in the
mitochondria caused by obesity and lack of exercise may be a key
factor in the aging process.
