Fat Browning Boost

Fat Browning Boost

Ostreolysin, a protein from oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus), helped diabetic mice lose weight and improve insulin resistance by triggering “fat browning,” or the conversion of white fat into energy-burning beige fat. Mice given the mushroom-derived protein lost 14% body weight and had a 35% drop in insulin resistance. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40626523/
