The Kobe University endocrinologist OGAWA Wataru unraveled the physiological role of the different versions of a signal molecule that links exercise and its effects. They found that mice lacking a newly discovered version of the signal molecule that is produced specifically in response to short-term exercise burn less fat than mice that have both versions.
