Fat cells or in scientific called adipocyte, function in the body to produces hormones called leptin. When we eat, the extra energy in food turned into fat and stored in our body. Adipocyte able to grow and shrink, depend on the fat content inside it.
When the fat stored in the adipocytes increase leptin hormone level produced by fat cells and absorbed into blood. This process gives signals to brain that the body has to obtain sufficient food. Leptin stimulates the sense of full and satisfied eating. It is a signal to stop eating. But even lots of leptin can be found in fat guy’s blood, they still feel hungry and need more food.
Why is this happening?
This explains the existence of other molecules in blood that give signals of full to the brain, beside leptin. This molecule cannot act when a person becomes obese. When these molecules failed to act, leptin does not work. There are chemical interactions that occur in the body, and all these molecules interact with each other.
What are these molecules?
Among these molecules are enzymes and hormones in the blood. Hormones and enzymes interact complexly to convert food into energy. When it cannot interact, energy are not produced and the food transformed into fat. There are techniques to increase the levels of enzymes and hormones in blood. Experts suggest intake of plant-based hormones. Obviously it gives a satisfactory effect. Extreme exposure to pesticides and food preservatives cause body gland that secretes enzymes and hormones become inactive. When the enzymes and hormones are definitely low, no fat burning activity.
Method of enhancing hormones and enzymes
Exercise is an effective way to increase the levels of hormones and enzymes in the blood. Exercise makes muscles active to send signal for high production of hormones and enzymes. We can also take supplements to improve blood hormones and enzymes under doctor's supervision.
Increased rates of hormones and enzymes mean an increment in your metabolic rate.
