Antaeus Labs: Lipomorph, NEW 120ml Topical

 

Antaeus Labs are proud to present LipoMorph, a weight-management supplement at the cutting edge of scientific understanding of human physiology. LipoMorph is the first “fat burner” supplement to specifically target all known modifiable mechanisms of white fat browning, and both brown and beige fat activation.

 

 

 

Ordinary white fat stores energy in the form of fat droplets, one droplet per adipocyte, which can be broken down by lipolysis into free fatty acids which are circulated into the blood stream and transported to the fuel-requiring tissue where they undergo beta-oxidation to acetyl-CoA which can be used to generate energy through the Krebs cycle. The energy stored in white fat, when liberated, is primarily burned to produce ATP to power cells.

Unfortunately, modern Western diet and lifestyle habits (consisting of excessive caloric intake typically coupled with insufficient physical activity) can cause an excessive accumulation of both subcutaneous and visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) that can have numerous adverse effects on health and health markers.

 

 

 

Brown fat is a thermogenic tissue that turns energy (stored as triglycerides) into heat. It’s found in abundance in hibernating mammals. When the temperature drops, animals like bears “go to sleep for the winter”. They’re able to survive by burning reserves of energy which have been stored as white and brown fat. The heat produced by the brown fat, which is activated by the cold, maintains the essential core body temperature of the animal through the winter months.

The heat produced by the brown fat, which is activated by the cold, maintains the essential core body temperature of the animal through the winter months.

 

It’s also found in high quantities in babies, but is present in much smaller amounts in adult humans.

Unlike adults, babies are unable to regulate their own temperature by, say, putting on a coat or moving to a warmer room, so their ability to regulate their own temperature is more vital to their survival. Accordingly, they have greater amounts of brown fat which is widely distributed viscerally and subcutaneously, decreasing as age increases until as adults brown fat is largely limited to small deposits in the lower neck and supraclavicular region. These deposits are suspected to be useful in cold weather for warming blood as it flows to the brain. Brown fat appears brown in color because of the high density of mitochondria and excellent blood supply. Certain natural conditions, like endurance exercise and cold temperatures, can encourage the human body to produce and/or activate brown fat.

 

Thermogenesis in brown fat is mediated by thermogenin, also known as uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). UCP1 is specific to the mitochondria of brown fat, and functions as a proton transporter, uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis and allowing the resulting energy to dissipate in the form of heat. The thermogenic effect of UCP1 is known as “non-shivering thermogenesis”.

 

 

 

In addition to classical brown fat, which originates from the same progenitor cells as muscle tissue, brown-like fat expressing the same thermogenic genes as brown fat can be made from regular mature white fat cells and their precursors. This brown-from-white fat is variously termed “brite” or “beige” fat, and the process of its creation known as “browning” of white fat. Whereas excessive white adipose tissue (WAT) impairs health, the recruitment and activation of brown and beige adipose tissue is currently being investigated as being potentially beneficial in the fight against obesity and metabolic disorders.

 

 

 

Natural regulators of brown and beige fat include external conditions like cold temperatures, and exercise, as well as internal mechanisms like thyroid hormones, beta-adrenergic hormones, retinoids, PPARγ and PPARα agonists, and the liver X receptor.
