Adiposity Promotion Reversal is the clinical and physiological process aimed at actively inhibiting the cellular and systemic mechanisms that drive the accumulation of excess adipose tissue. This comprehensive strategy moves beyond simple caloric restriction by targeting the underlying hormonal and metabolic dysregulations contributing to fat storage. Successful reversal involves shifting the body’s energy balance and substrate utilization away from lipogenesis and toward lipolysis.
Origin
This term originates from the clinical and scientific understanding of obesity as a chronic, multifactorial endocrine disease rather than a mere energy imbalance. The focus shifted from treating symptoms to addressing the promotion pathways, particularly those influenced by insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and altered adipokine signaling. It is rooted in the advancements in adipocyte biology and endocrinology.
Mechanism
The reversal mechanism operates by sensitizing peripheral tissues to insulin, which subsequently reduces the hormonal drive for fat storage. Strategies often involve upregulating mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis, increasing the oxidation of fatty acids, and modulating the release of appetite-regulating and satiety hormones like leptin and ghrelin. This concerted effort restores metabolic flexibility and reduces the chronic low-grade inflammation often perpetuated by excessive adiposity.
