Ever thought what helps burn fat across your body while exercising?
According to a study, it is a molecule in our muscles that is produced during exercise and contributes to the beneficial effects of exercise on metabolism.
“Our finding bolsters the underlying notion that signals generated in exercising muscle are released into the circulation and influence other tissues such as fat cells and liver,” said senior author Robert Gerszten at Massachusetts General Hospital, the primary teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.
The researchers knew that a protein called PGC-1? regulates metabolic genes in muscle and contributes to the response of muscle to exercise.
