People conceived during colder months may end up with a lower body mass index and less fat around internal organs than those conceived in warmer seasons, a new study has found. At such a critical ...

A special session on ‘Genetic Mouse Models in Metabolic Research’ — held on 9 May as a hybrid event — was jointly organized by Nature ... adipose tissue is bad for metabolic health; brown ...

In a study published in Nature, neuroscientists at Trinity College Dublin and Princeton University revealed that the brain ...

Animal studies have established the previously unknown role of a protein that helps activate brown fat, a tissue that can ...

Furthermore, only cold memory, not general memories or memories of a feared stimulus, increased the expression of genes involved in thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, suggesting that cold ...

BAT is a thermogenic organ. In contrast to white adipose tissue (WAT), the primary function of BAT is to produce heat by the process of nonshivering thermogenesis (NST). This process is enabled by ...

The study is published in the journal Nature. The discovery may have ... seems to be due to increased activity of brown adipose tissue—or brown fat—which can be controlled by innervations ...

ugr.es Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the ability to oxidise glucose and lipids, and dissipate energy in the form of heat.1 Thus, it could provide one method to influence energy balance—and therefore, ...
