New findings highlight PGC-1⍺ variants “b” and “c” as key to improving fat burning and energy metabolism during exercise, offering new avenues for obesity treatment. Some people lose weight slower than others after workouts, and a Kobe University research team found a reason. They studied what happens to mice that cannot produce signal molecules that respond specifically to short-term exercise and regulate the body’s energy metabolism. These mice consume less oxygen during workouts, burn less fat, and are thus also more susceptible to gaining weight. Since the team found this connection also in humans, the newly gained knowledge of this mechanism might provide a pathway for treating obesity.

She wanted weight loss — but instead, she lost money and self-esteem.

UK mother Julia Lanni, 58, says she bellied up about $155 last summer for 16 fat-dissolving Aqualyx injections in her stomach in the hopes they would boost her body confidence.

“This treatment was certainly life-changing, but not in the way I wanted,” Lanni, of Hertfordshire, England, admitted to SWNS. “My confidence is even lower than it was before. My weight was the same after the treatment and I’ve been left with a scar.”

While athletes may have far to travel to Paris, spare a thought for all the horses that cross continents for the Olympic and Paralympic equestrian events. Just like in previous years, all horses competing in this year’s tournament are expected to complete seven days of pre-export quarantine.

Although there’s no evidence that horses can carry and transmit COVID, the animals can spread equine coronavirus (known as ECoV), a highly contagious horse-to-horse virus first identified in the early 2000s.
