Memories of obesity can linger in fat cells long after weight loss
Epigenetic changes from obesity persist after weight loss, altering fat cell function and increasing the risk of weight regain, impacting metabolic health.
"It's not me, it's the 'obese' memory of my cells," Science explains one of the reasons for the 'yo-yo' diet effect
Adipose tissue retains 'memories' of obesity through cellular epigenetic changes that persist after weight loss. This would increase the chances of regaining weight, as experiments with human and mouse cells show.
Keeping weight off may be stymied by fat cells’ ‘memory’ of obesity
Fat tissue may commit weight to memory. For people living with obesity, losing weight can help reduce the risk of health problems such as type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease (SN: 2/29/24). But losing weight and keeping it off is difficult,
Fat cells have epigenetics-based memory: Researchers discover mechanism behind weight loss yo-yo effect
Anyone who has ever tried to get rid of a few extra kilos knows the frustration: the weight drops initially, only to be back within a matter of weeks—the yo-yo effect has struck. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now been able to show that this is all down to epigenetics.

Your fat cells can ‘remember’ being overweight — new study explains why yo-yo dieting is so common
"We’ve found a molecular basis for the yo-yo effect," said Ferdinand von Meyenn, professor of nutrition and metabolic epigenetics at ETH Zurich university in Switzerland.
Fat cells have a ‘memory’ of obesity — hinting at why it’s hard to keep weight off
Even after drastic weight loss, the body’s fat cells carry the ‘memory’ of obesity, research 1 shows — a finding that might help to explain why it can be hard to stay trim after a weight-loss programme.
