Copper plays a major role in metabolism by helping move fat out of cells and into the blood stream for use as energy, a study said.

Findings about the copper and fat cells, called adiposities, by the group from the University of California, Berkeley, will be published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology in July, Xinhua news agency reported.

"If we could find a way to burn fat more efficiently, this could be a big contribution to dealing with obesity and diabetes."

Without enough copper, fat builds up in fat cells without being utilized.

Previously, Chang showed that copper is a key signaling molecule in the brain, tamping down over-excitation of nerve cells.


The new study shows that copper plays a role throughout the body and the signaling is not restricted to a few elements on the periodic table, like sodium, calcium and potassium.

"Copper is a brand new class; in a sense we have basically added a fourth letter to the alphabet, in terms of metal elements that contribute to the language of signaling," said Chang, who also is a faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.
