Smoking Keep Stay Slim Body?

Smokers tend to be leaner than nonsmokers. Many people do not want to stop smoking for fear of fat. Really? The study, led by Yale University, the United States have discovered how nicotine activates certain neurons in the brain called the hypothalamus. This nervous system that acts as an appetite suppressant in the brain. "These neurons tell the body when the stomach is quite full," says Marina Picciotto, author of the study is Professor of Neurobiology and Pharmacology at Yale University, as quoted from Health24. "Many people say they will not stop smoking for fear of weight gain. Basically, we want to help people maintain weight loss by removing smoking and help non-smokers who are struggling with obesity," he explained. Research Researchers conducted observations of mice, but hope that the same result can also be applied to humans. Marina Picciotto research laboratory studying the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which resides on the surface of neurons, to see if smoking can suppress appetite. "Rats that were given cigarettes tend to be less appetite than mice not given a cigarette," he wrote in a research study, which led to a broader investigation by researchers at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada and the University of Hawaii. A series of studies show that smoking nicotine can activate specific receptors which then activate the smallest parts of neurons in the hypothalamus (called pro-opiomelanocortin, or POMC cells) and convey the message that the stomach is full. However, these receptors also independently lead to nicotine addiction in smokers. So when you feel sure that cigarettes can keep your weight at the same time, smoking also makes you addicted. "This shows it is possible to get the appetite suppression effect without triggering the central reward (reward) in the brain," says Marina. "Identifying this receptor is important for understanding the mechanisms associated with addiction, weight, and smoking," he explained about the findings published in the journal Science. He added that smoking has many adverse effects such as triggering cancer, heart attack. and various other chronic diseases. Weight increased slightly, according to him, not something to worry about.
