Higher activity of PGC-1α enables brown fat cells in females to achieve thermogenic activity and energy expenditure compared to males, reveals a study conducted in Japan. This research demonstrates ...

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is specialised for rapid heat production through mitochondrial uncoupling, a process largely driven by uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Upon cold exposure or β-adrenergic ...
The prevalence of obesity worldwide has led to an increase in the risk of metabolic diseases and socio-economical burdens. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been established as a promising therapeutic ...
Brown fat, also known as brown adipose tissue (BAT), is a type of fat in our bodies that's different from the white fat around our belly and thighs that we are more familiar with. Brown fat has a ...
White adipose tissue (WAT) serves as the body’s principal energy reservoir, storing excess calories as triglycerides. Under specific stimuli—most notably cold exposure, sympathetic activation and ...
Newly reported research in human tissue and in mice has uncovered a mechanism by which brown fat (brown adipose tissue; BAT) is converted into heat, and identified a control protein that may represent ...
People with obesity face a significantly increased risk of atherosclerosis, and consequently heart attack and stroke. This elevated risk is largely driven by chronic inflammation in the blood vessels, ...
Higher activity of PGC-1α enables brown fat cells in females to thermogenic activity and energy expenditure compared to males, reveals a study conducted in Japan. This research demonstrates that ...
