Research raises hopes in battle against obesity

New research conducted by Trinity College Dublin, St. Vincent's Hospital and Harvard University may prove pivotal in the battle against obesity.

It has found that a type of anti-tumour immune cell protects against obesity and the metabolic syndrome that leads to diabetes.

The team also discovered that a lipid called "aGC" can lead to a dramatic improvement in metabolism, weight loss, and fatty liver disease, and can reverse diabetes by bolstering cells that have been depleted.
