Weight loss is not an easy task! You spend hours at the gym exercising but someone else you know ends up losing more weight than you do in the same period, and while doing the same exercises. While you might feel like blaming your trainer or your diet, there are other things at play when it comes to weight loss. A recent study has found that you might not be seeing a great result due to a lack of a specific protein that helps regulate metabolism. It also happens to be the same protein that helps your body respond to short-term exercise.

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to keep your weight in check. You must have noticed that some people lose more weight with exercise than others, but you might wonder why.

A study published in the journal Molecular Metabolism found that people who lose weight slower with exercise may be because of a lack of protein PGC-1g. This is the protein responsible for regulating your metabolism and improving your body’s response to exercise. According to the data by Advances in Physiology Education, this protein is a member of the transcription coactivators that play a central role in energy metabolism. It was also found that a lack of this specific protein in mice increases their chances of being obese and developing hyperinsulinemia (high insulin levels).

In addition to the standard “a” variant of the PGC-1α protein, there exist slightly modified “b” and “c” versions as well, found in another study published in the journal Endocrine Society. These novel PGC-1α versions, dubbed “b” and “c,” work very identically to the traditional “a” version; however, during exercise, their production in muscles increases by over 10 times, whereas the “a” version does not exhibit this rise.
