Understanding "Good" Fat May Help Fight Obesity
A recent understanding of the origins of brown fat cells - the "good" kind of fat that burns energy and keeps us warm - may lead to the discovery of new treatments for obesity. Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston said they used a single molecular switch to turn immature muscle cells into brown fat cells in the lab. This suggests that brown fat may be more akin to muscle cells than traditional white fat cells.
Another team from the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston found a protein important for bone growth helped promote the development of fat tissues in mice. Both teams claim their new findings lend understanding about the origins of brown fat, which releases energy, in contrast to white fat, which only stores energy.

Stay Young by Running
For people who run regularly, you may be extending your disability-free, higher quality of life. When senior author, James Fries, began research on vigorous exercise in 1984, many scientists expected the results would do more harm than good. Some experts believed the long-term effect of serious running would be an onslaught of orthopedic injuries, with older runners suffering from chronic injury. But Fries believed it would improve quality of life and reduce the period at the end of a person's life where they couldn't carry out daily tasks on their own. (Read more about Stay Young by Running)

Active Children are Influenced by Active Parents
A study from bmj.com has found parents who are active during pregnancy and early in their child's life are more likely to raise active children. Up to this point, some risk factors for adult diseases have been associated with lower levels of activity in children. Other associations have also been found between early life factors, up to age five, and childhood obesity. To find out more about the early life influences on children's level of physical activity, researchers observed children aged 11 to 12 who were taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Each child wore an accelerometer for seven days, which recorded the intensity and frequency of physical activity by the minute. Data was collected from over 5,000 children, who were observed for at least 10 hours during 3 days, and were analyzed according to various factors hypothesized to affect physical activity.
