American scientists have successfully tested on mice essentially new tactics of adiposity treatment. According to the researchers, an injection of the preparation blocked action of well-known neuropeptide and in short terms helped animals to get rid of the most dangerous to health depot visceral fat.
As it appeared, injections in an adipose tissue of the substance blocking interacting with neuropeptide Y receptors NPY2R, have caused fast reduction of depot fat. Within two weeks animals have lost approximately 40 % of visceral fat.
In opinion of the researchers, their method of struggle with adiposity can make in the future a worthy competition to surgical operations on weight loss. Certainly, for this purpose blocking action of neuropeptide Y preparations have to be recognized safe for patients.
One more supervision of scientists can appear useful to cosmeticians: regular neuropeptide Y injections provoked again fast fat accumulation in places of its introduction. According to the scientists, this effect can in the future be successfully used in plastic surgery.
