Obesity isn't always due to poor physical activity and eating habits. Most of the time the body starts storing more fat than it should and burns fewer calories. Sanford-Burnham researchers have now proposed that maybe a protein called p62 leads to the body storing unhealthy fat.
The study found that when the protein p62 was missing in the fat tissue, the body started storing white fat that is bad for the body. They found that this happens because of the metabolic shift in the body.
