Local Skin Heating for Beige Fat Conversion
1:41:21 - 1:49:03 (07:41)
Local skin heating may increase the conversion of white to beige fat, leading to overall increases in metabolism and potentially improving glucose metabolism and thermogenesis. This could lead to a future trend of people using heating pads on specific areas of their body to reduce or convert white fat into beige fat.

Local heating of skin can convert white fat cells into beige fat cells, leading to body-wide increases in metabolism through two mechanisms, and cold exposure can also induce this conversion with an 8 degree Fahrenheit temperature difference.

Summary
The use of local skin heating could potentially increase the conversion of white to beige fat, leading to overall increased metabolism and improved glucose metabolism, according to recent observations in beige fat cells. This also provides a mechanism for the observation that burn victims experience long-lasting increases in body fat loss and metabolism.
