Fat and protein in exercise performance

Researchers have been found that exercise training causes dramatic changes to fat. Additionally, they discovered that this "trained" fat releases factors into the bloodstream that can have positive effects on health.

Fat cells secrete proteins called adipokines, too many of these protein has been linked to obesity moreover harmful effects on metabolism and health.

In contrast a study done has been shown a transformation of growth factor beta 2 (TGF-beta 2) as adipokines released from adipose tissue (fat) in response to exercise that actually improves glucose tolerance, treating obese mice with TGF beta 2 lowered blood lipid levels and improved many other aspects of metabolism.

Another significant finding was that lactic acid, which is released during exercise, serves as an integral part of the process. Lactate is released by the muscles during exercise then travels to the fat where it triggers the release of TGF beta 2.

These findings suggest that TGF beta 2 may be a potential therapy for treatment of high blood sugar, and eventually a potential therapy for type 2 diabetes. Long-term studies will be needed to determine the safety of TGF beta 2 treatment.
