Research suggests a fat cell's "memory" of past obesity changes how it responds to food, and that may explain why keeping weight off is so difficult.

Fat cells were found to retain a long-lasting "memory" of obesity making it hard to maintain weight loss results.

Epigenetic changes from obesity persist after weight loss, altering fat cell function and increasing the risk of weight ...

Even after drastic weight loss, the body’s fat cells carry the ‘memory’ of obesity, research 1 shows — a finding that might help to explain why it can be hard to stay trim after a weight ...

Obesity creates lasting epigenetic changes in fat cells, making weight regain easier. Early prevention is key, as these changes can't currently be reversed. Anyone who has ever tried to shed a few ...

F at cell “memory” could help explain why weight loss can be difficult to maintain, according to new research. In experiments using mice and samples of human fat tissue, the scientists found that ...

Researchers from Switzerland found fat cells in the body have a 'memory,' one that tells them to keep growing, even after losing weight. The team used fat cells from people with obesity and ...

Changes to the structure of DNA within fat cells may be why it is often so hard to keep weight off after you have lost it ...
