How much we wish that all our baked goods or fatty foods disappear into thin air once we enjoy them without having to expel the excess calories through vigorous physical activity and exercise schedules! Indeed, there are a lucky few who do get to stay slim forever despite consuming high-calorie foods without minding portion control or exercising. All that we can comment is that it is in their gene to stay thin. Such a friend, colleague or family member becomes everyone’s envy. Contrarily, there are some others whose body is comparable to a tire. Just like how air can inflate the tire the food that goes inside the body rather than being used as energy gets converted to body fat and is stored forever! This might be you and me who regrets eating the single piece of cake the next day as the weighing machine shows an additional 750 grams in our weight. The most dreaded type of body is that which increases body fat without eating any of the fried foods or the red meats. In such people, a single cholesterol-derived molecule called the 27-hydroxycholesterol (27 HC) exists within the bloodstream increasing body fat even when they don’t eat a diet that’s rich in red meat and fried foods.
The research on this single molecule that has surprised everybody with its potential to increase adipose tissue even without consuming any fatty food has been published in the reputed journal Endocrinology. Until this study, 27HC was known as an abundant cholesterol metabolite that poses harmful effects on the cardiovascular system but its effects on obesity was unknown. Now that the effects are crystal clear, steps could be taken to reduce the levels of 27HC in the body which reduces the body’s capacity to make fat. Obesity exists as a public health epidemic that needs immediate intervention. Such increase in obesity/overweight numbers are primarily due to changes in lifestyle, eating habits and exercise routines. Mankind has accepted the fast food lifestyle that makes his life simpler and easy. Technological advancements, economic stability and science has enabled humans to use domestic help and machines for completing all of their work which leaves them with a sedentary lifestyle. At most, people either workout for 60 minutes a day or completely avoid even this. Such sedentary behavior exists are the root cause behind increase in obesity rates which in turn exists as a primary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases worldwide in both men and women, and estrogen plays a prominent role in both the sexes. If you are obese/overweight it is better to get your weight under control and reach normal body weight before things go out of hand.

In females, during menopause there is a tremendous decrease in estrogen levels which in turn produces an increase in fat tissues as estrogen is the hormone that protects the body against adiposity and weight gain and its decrease exists as the cause behind such sudden weight gain. Men produce estrogen by conversion of testosterone and hence, it is possible that it plays a role in fat tissue production in men too. Estrogen receptors (ER), a group of proteins found inside cells activated by the hormone estrogen, are present in adipocytes. Individuals with a non-functional ER are obese and those who don’t have an ER are said to possess increased fat tissue even when they eat the same amount of food daily indicating the role played by ER in regulating boy fat. Previous studies revealed that 27HC binds to estrogen receptors thereby inhibiting ER action but now it has been shown that the effects by 27HC are tissue-specific. 27HC is the first naturally-produced selective estrogen receptor modulator or SERM. Lowering 27HC levels may pave way for a method to target cholesterol lowering to prevent diet-induced weight gain.
