Unraveling the Mysteries of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT): An In-Depth Exploration into its Thermogenic...
Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) has emerged as a fascinating component in human physiology, capable of transforming energy from nutrients into heat. While its significance in maternal care in non-human species is acknowledged, its involvement...
Brown fat could play an important protective role against diabetes
Increasing a protein concentrated in brown fat appears to lower blood sugar, promote insulin sensitivity, and protect against fatty liver disease by remodeling white fat to a healthier state, a new study led by...
The brown fat may protect against numerous diseases
Brown fat is that magical tissue that you would want more of. Unlike white fat, which stores calories, brown fat burns energy and scientists hope it may hold the key to new obesity treatments....
Beta2-adrenergic receptors (b2-AR) in brown fat cells are responsible for stimulating thermogenesis
An international research team have discovered how to activate brown fat in humans, which may lead to new treatments for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The results of the collaboration between the Centre de...
Researchers have shown that “brown fat” interacts with the gut hormone secretin to relay...
Researchers from Germany and Finland have shown that so-called "brown fat" interacts with the gut hormone secretin in mice to relay nutritional signals about fullness to the brain during a meal.
The study, appearing November...
Obesity and Its Complex Interplay with Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)and Notch1
Obesity is now one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases globally, affecting over 600 million individuals worldwide. Long-term obesity is associated with increased risks of diabetes, hyperuricemia, and cardiovascular diseases. The primary contributors to...
Ultrasound-Induced Hypothermia: A Promising Path Towards Human Hibernation
Hibernation, a remarkable biological phenomenon observed in many animal species, has long fascinated scientists and has been the subject of extensive research.
The ability to enter a torpor-like state, characterized by significantly reduced metabolism...
REM sleep acts like a thermostatically controlled brain heater
Warm-blooded animal groups with higher body temperatures have lower amounts of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, while those with lower body temperatures have more REM sleep, according to new research from UCLA professor Jerome...
A hormone produced by the liver called fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) suppresses alcohol...
A hormone produced by the liver called fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) suppresses alcohol consumption in primates, finds a study published February 1 in the journal Cell Metabolism.
Vervet monkeys with a strong preference...
Researchers identify an estrogen-activated neurocircuit that stimulates thermogenesis
Seeking to better understand the key role the female hormone estrogen plays in maintaining energy balance and weight control, a group led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine looked into estrogen interactions with...
Scandinavian practice of winter swimming is associated with changes in body temperature and increased...
The Scandinavian winter swimming culture combines brief dips in cold water with hot sauna sessions - and now, a study of young men who participate regularly in these polar plunges finds that winter swimming...
Alzheimer’s disease: Hormone irisin has the ability to drive the cognitive benefits of exercise
The novel hormone irisin has the ability to drive the cognitive benefits of exercise, and therefore holds great promise for treating cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease, scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found....
Smoking and obesity increase susceptibility to severe COVID-19 and sepsis
An international collaboration of scientists from the UK, Norway and the U.S. have identified genetic evidence supporting a causal effect of smoking and obesity on increasing susceptibility to severe COVID-19 and sepsis.

Common diabetes metformin drug reverses inflammation in the liver
The diabetes drug metformin - derived from a lilac plant that's been used medicinally for more than a thousand years - has been prescribed to hundreds of millions of people worldwide as the frontline...
Leptin can regulate the presence of neurons in fat boosting calorie-burning capacity
There's no doubt that you can lose fat by eating less or moving more - yet after decades of research, the biology underlying this equation remains mysterious.
What really ignites the breakdown of stored...
