Fat Loss Laser Therapy

Energy & Glucose

Our energy system, fat cells participate in regulating our appetite, hunger pathways and energy storage for when we are in between meals (i.e. Triglycerides). These cells communicate through an intricate system called adipokines (fat cell chemical messengers). Adipose tissue is a part of glucose and lipid (fat) metabolism that is not often discussed. When our insulin receptors become insensitive or resistant this is the start of insulin resistance leading to Type II Diabetes. Adipokines made by our fat cells influence other organs such as the liver, pancreas, and muscles to establish efficiency in cellular metabolism.

Insulation & Protection

People who live in colder climates have a more efficient adipose system. It takes a lot of energy to burn fat cells (lipolysis) which requires an active metabolism like living in a cold climate. Since the body has to produce to much metabolic energy, this increases the “warmth factor”. When the body is not expending a lot of energy the fat cells provide a layer of insulation and physical protection or cushion to protect vital organs against trauma.

Endocrine System

The third usage of adipose tissue or fat cells is usage in our endocrine system. Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ, meaning it produces and secretes hormones, collectively known as adipokines.

Famous adipokines that you may be familiar with include:

• Leptin: which helps regulate our appetite and energy expenditure
• Adiponectin: which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces inflammation

Adipokines are proteins secreted by adipose tissues that play an important role in regulating metabolism, inflammation and several other bodily functions. When adipokine levels become troubled they often result or contribute to issues such as obesity, diabetes type II, heart disease and some types of cancer.

Miscellaneous

In the past, adipose tissue was only known for its energy storage, insulation and thermoregulation (metabolism/ heat). Decades later with a lot more research done we now understand the amazing adipose tissue system plays a dynamic role in participating in a broad range of physiological processes including:

• Reproduction
• Apoptosis (cell death, cancer)
• Inflammation
• Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
• Blood pressure
• Atherogenesis (formation of plaques in arteries)
• Coagulation
• Fibrinolysis
• Immunity
• Vascular homeostasis with either direct or indirect implications in the process of making new cells or vessels.

Clinical Take Home

The Zerona VZ8 is an FDA approved laser therapy for subcutaneous fat reduction. If you are wondering where subcutaneous fat is it is located directly under the skin, providing insulation and cushioning.

According to a 2005 research article white adipose tissue (WAT) is now recognized as a major endocrine and secretory organ, releasing a wide range of protein factors and signals termed adipokines in addition to fatty acids and other lipid particles. WAT has many adipokines, a well researched one is called Leptin which is a multi-purpose hormone which is critical signal to the hypothalamus in the control of appetite and energy balance. So to elaborate further, if you have an abundance of WAT otherwise termed obesity you definitely have the following: 1. Hormone imbalances 2. Overactive surge of signaling that disrupts your appetite and energy balance which leads to blood sugar surges in insulin, glucagon (GLP-1), etc. 3. Increased signaling into the hypothalamic-pituitary projections which include adrenals, thyroid, reproductive organs and growth hormones to name a few.

Further this 2005 article discussed these adipokines increasing the risk for inflammatory pathways in WAT:

• Adiponectin - ONLY adipokine that is ANTI-inflammatory
• Tumor necrosis factor-alpha
• Interleukin-1 (IL-1) beta
• IL - 6
• IL - 8
• IL - 10
• Monocyte chemoattractant protein - 1
• Macrophage migration inhibitory factor
• Nerve growth factor
• Vascular endothelial growth factor
• Plasminogen activator inhibitor - 1
• Haptoglobin

Obesity is characterized by a state of mild inflammation and the expression and release of inflammation-related adipokines generally rises as adipose tissue expands, exception is adiponectin. WAT may be the main site of inflammation in obesity, increased circulating levels of inflammatory markers reflecting a spillover from an “inflamed” tissue source leading to the obesity-associated pathologies such as Type II Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome.
