According to the study conducted by the UT Southwestern Medical Center the researchers found and examined specialised compartments inside the cell to reveal the role of a molecule termed NAD+ in turning on genes that make fat cells. Glucose is the energy that fuels cells and the body likes to store glucose for later use. But too much glucose can contribute to obesity and scientists have long wanted to understand what happens within a cell to tip the balance. A Google search for NAD+ revealed that the molecule is found in every cell of the body and that some scientists
