在著重修身的時代上，脂肪是一個較為負面性的用詞。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkddikKvC3
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5OdRxPNTR
而在學術層面上，脂肪大致上可分為三種；1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGVubFciTA
白色脂肪(White Fat)、米色脂肪(Beige Fat)及啡色脂肪(Brown Fat)。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uxG9TekKw

（圖1）白色脂肪的特徵就是油脂體積非常大，佔據細胞大部份的位置。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5dr9aLkyO
而啡色及米色的油脂體積則較為細少，不會佔據細胞大部份位置。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMHqaBbw51

至所以會用顏色來形容及命名脂肪，原因是因為它們所含的鐵質數量不同，越多數量的粒線體(Mitochondria)，鐵質含量便會越高，在顯微鏡的染色片上能夠呈現更深色的啡色;1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2QCRZOrE4
基於粒線體的性質不同，白色脂肪會將食物的養份轉化成為能量而儲存，而米色及啡色脂肪則會將食物養份轉化成為熱能。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54dBBYKBFh

肚腩，就是由白色脂肪主要構成，任何多餘的營養均會儲存下來。而處於頸部、鎖骨位置及盤骨裡的啡色脂肪，則不會把過剩的能源儲存，一一化作成為熱能。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrxYZAitE3
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrw4uTLpVL
換句話說，若然我們身體的脂肪全都是啡色脂肪的話，我們所進食的過量營養一一會變作為熱能散走，不會變作成為肚腩。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1vQvIeM0x
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ktb5pmwYu
可惜的是，啡色脂肪會隨著年紀增加而減少；我們在嬰兒的時候會有大量啡色脂肪作保溫之用，而長大後則會逐一減少。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYIDDIxKdS
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKmBEdI2TA
這亦是為何年紀越大越容易擁有大肚腩的其中一個原因。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlvleBJ62U

（圖2）將肚腩變成為米色脂肪的話，自當然是減肥的絕世大計!1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSKxUED5q3

而將肚腩(白色脂肪)變成為米色脂肪，現實上是可行的，這過程我們稱之為Browning。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDDggdzuBn
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO6sPdjOjg
做運動、長期暴露在寒冷氣候，均會產生出不同荷爾蒙催化Browning發生。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3tjXnFFKl
現時有不少科學家均積極研究Browning的確實機制，希望可以藉此來把白色脂肪轉化成為米色或啡色脂肪，藉此醫治癡肥及糖尿問題1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6N9asVg5P

（圖3）近日有科學家發表文章（Ref1)，發表關於啡色脂肪的研究。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0zUhVcS6Z

他們抽取健康人士頸部的脂肪細胞，並利用CRISPR基因技術把它們催化成為功能類近啡色脂肪的細胞。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6GVyO7lY
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkTYWq0jmj
他們分別把那名人士的白色脂肪及類近啡色脂肪注射到老鼠身上，作出各式各樣的實驗。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeNVSS6d7B
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VuHl05Kfd
其中一個實驗就是餵食老鼠高脂餐單持續3個月，並證實注射了啡色脂肪的老鼠體重明顯較輕，以及清楚找出了箇中的分子機制。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIZ1Z57vy0
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ab61YavvE
1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYP1251ce5
這一份研究所帶來的啟示，就是日後大有可能可以發展出抽取人類自身頸部的脂肪細胞、再把其轉化成為啡色脂肪注射回該名人士身上的減肥/治療癡肥/糖尿病的手法。1380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBSVPyVc9M
