Old Mice Gain Muscle and Lose Fat When ATB Receptor Is Prompted. Humans Have Similar Pathway.

Maybe not too good to be true:  Brown fat in mice has a lot of ATB sensors which when prompted, signal a burn off to the brown fat.   Muscle tissue has some of the same receptors.  When those ones are signaled, more muscle tissue is laid down.  This is a "two-fer" made in heaven if it safely works on seniors who could lose fat and bulk up muscle at the same time.  The net result in the mice was a slight loss of weight and a younger figure.  The mice burned almost 50% more oxygen and the healthy changes were in place after just four weeks. The conclusion, of course, is that more research is needed.
