Fat deposits in the human body can be harmful. But in the right proportions, it is essential for the normal functioning of the body.
According to ToDay News Ufa citing the journal Science, scientists recently discovered that fat helps fight infections. As it turned out, cells actively use fat in order to resist bacteria.
The fat contains lipid droplets that are located next to the mitochondria. These in turn form oxygen into chemical energy.
At a time when all the nutrients in the body dry up, mitochondria are converted into lipids, which act as fuel.
Studies have shown that when bacteria enter the body, lipids are separated from the mitochondria and travel to the places where the bacteria reside.
