ZERONA - in the Media VIEW ALL
How Does ZERONA Work? ZERONA works by painlessly creating a small pore in the wall of the fat cell. While the cell remains healthy and alive, the fat is emptied out of the cell through the open pore. Our bodies then safely eliminate the fat using the lymphatic system. The remarkable images below demonstrate ZERONA’s ability to emulsify adipose tissue. An Outcome Only Achieved By ZERONA Fat catabolism is a tightly regulated process, requiring an orchestra of proteins, enzymes, and hormones to promote adipose tissue lipolysis. Adipocytes predominately store fatty material as triglycerides, three fatty acid chains all connected by a single glycerol backbone. To mobilize triglycerides it must first be degraded by specialized enzymes referred to as hormone-sensitive lipase. This process known as lipolysis all takes place within the adipocyte. In order to modulate this biochemical pathway, various hormones and proteins must be released and interact with membrane-bound receptors. ZERONA avoids this complex network by forming transitory pores within the protective membrane of adipocytes. Stored lipids and fatty material traverse the membrane via the transitory pores entering the interstitial space where the lymphatic system is readily capable of removing the fatty debris. The formation of the transitory pores enables ZERONA to bypass a key fat catabolism step by photochemically liberating the fatty material. The images below demonstrate the formation of a transitory pore within the membrane of an adipocyte.
