The human heart beats about 65 times a minute.
It maintains life and it talks to fat.
That’s according to researchers at Temple University who say the heart releases substances that travel through the blood and communicate with fat cells.
That could be a game changer in the fight against obesity.
Courtney Hunter explains in Healthy Living.
Professor Koch’s lab also found that when mice eat high-fat diets, the enzyme GRK2 increases in the heart, which is the same thing that happens in humans when they go into heart failure.
Researchers say they will continue to investigate what other parts of the body the heart is talking to.
