Shots could help you lose that pot belly
Injections in mice blocked chemical linked with weight gain, study finds
WASHINGTON - Researchers have figured out how to remove fat from one part of the body and make it grow in another part — at least in mice — and say their findings could benefit health as well as beauty.
Their findings also shed light on how and why stressed-out people so often gain weight.
"We don't think this is something that would be used for gross obesity, but for reshaping the body for use with pockets of fat ... that would be all very good," said Dr. Zofia Zukowska of Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, who led the study.
