Dieting takes a new turn in this study:
“Chronic carbon monoxide treatment attenuates development of obesity and remodels adipocytes in mice fed a high fat diet,” P A Hosick, A A AlAmodi, M V Storm, M U Gousset, B E Pruett, W Gray III, J Stout and D E Stec [pictured here], International Journal of Obesity, epub April 30, 2013. The authors, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, explain: “In this study, we determined the effect of chronic low level administration of a specific CO [carbon monoxide] donor on the progression of obesity and its effects on metabolism and adipocyte biology in mice fed a high fat diet.”
