Although until now it was believed that being "pear-shaped" was beneficial to health , a new study from the University of California (USA) published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism has concluded that there are evidence of such benefits. What's more, according to new research, fat stored in the butt (that is, the adipose tissue of the buttocks ) secretes abnormal levels of kemerin, resistin, visfatin, and omentin-1 , all of which are proteins that cause inflammation in different tissues and a condition. called "insulin resistance" prior to diabetes. "Ultimately, just as the fat in the abdomen is harmful to health, the fat in the buttocks does not fall short, and can lead to the development of metabolic syndrome", explains Ishwarlal Jialal, co-author of the work.
Recent studies suggest that the dual role of kemerin in inflammation and metabolism may provide a link between chronic inflammation and obesity , and also with other obesity-associated pathologies such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease .
