Researchers from the American Yale University School of medicine discovered the mechanism that leads to eating people or, on the other hand, determines the feeling of satiety.

The study, published in the online version of the journal Nature Medicine, says that this is the same mechanism that controls the free radicals, substances involved in ageing and oxidation of the organism.

According to Clarin collect the study was conducted on animals, and then he concluded that increase levels of radical free in the region of the brain called hypothalamus eliminates directly or indirectly the appetite.

The problem is that, implement it, also has an effect not desired, and even harmful for the organism.

El doctor Tamas Horvath, Coordinator of the study, said that “on the one hand, it is necessary to have these crucial signaling molecules to stop eating.” “But on the other, free radicals damage cells and promote aging to be exposed to them in the chronic form”.

Thus, the possibility of eliminating appetite by increasing the feeling of satiety could be a very effective alternative in the search for control of obesity. But still, is not at all recommendable.

The co-author of the study, Sabrina Diano, Associate Professor of obstetrics and Gynecology, Neurobiology and comparative medicine noted that the process that is generated is “very particular”: “eating too much eliminates the production of radical free which, in turn, is promoted by the growth of intracellular organelles called microbody (or microbodies).

“

, In fact, protect cells against damage from oxidation. “The result, however, is that this process decreases the ability to feel satiated after eating”.
