Irisin is a hormone which has recently been found to convert white fat to brown fat. Apperently brown fat will actually help your body burn fat. This research was done at the Harvard Medical School on mice and after regular Irisin injections the mice lost weight even though they were purposely placed on a high fat diet without exercise.
