Could peope lose weight by injecting fat into their stomach?

Summary:
Two-thirds of American adults and seventeen percent of people under the age of nineteen are obese. A new breakthrough in science believes that injecting fat into the stomach area could promote weight loss. There are two kinds of fat cells: white and brown. White cells store calories and are found mostly in the waistline area. Brown fat cells capture energy, then release it causing calories to be burned.
Brown fat cells from immature muscle and fat cells are created by two different proteins. The process of turning white fat cells into brown fat cells could be produced by a drug. It is believed that one day brown fat cells will be injected into peoples' abdominal areas to increase calorie burning. White cells release fatty acids to the brown cells which burn them.
Brown fat cells are typically found in infants to regulate and stable their body temperature. When the cells are done with this role, the disappear. There are few of them scattered throughout the body. However, there are immature cells that could grow into brown cells.
Yu-Hua Tsend, a biologist at Joslin Diabetes Center at Harvard University, used a growth protein to turn on the genes that make brown fat cells. This discovery was first tested on mice. The ones that had the protein injected into them were leaner than the ones who didn't receive the proteins. The cells that were injected to the mice also caused the immature cells to turn into brown cells instead of white.
There is a protein that determines whether a cell will grown into brown fat cells and muscle. Lower levels of this protein create muscle and higher levels turn the cell into brown fat cells. Higher levels of this protein also may turn white fat cells into brown ones. This is why they believe that if proteins and cells are injected into the abdominal region, it would promote weight loss.


Opinion:
When I first saw this article, I was confused. How could losing fat happen by injecting more fat into the body? It sounds crazy. I was unaware that there are two types of fat cells. It would be harmful to inject white fat cells into the body because they would just store more fat. However, brown cells would promote weight loss.
Healthy diets and exercise are always going to be encouraged, but maybe this technology could be helpful in the future. Some people might need that extra push to help them lose weight and this could be just what they need. It would help the person's weight loss to become easier. We are unsure of what this discover will bring about, but it looks like the results are positive.
