Flavanols enhance the browning of adipose fat by activating the sympathetic nervous system. The findings could have implications for the development of new drugs to help treat obesity.
Researchers have found a direct connection between flavan 3-ols consumption and fat browning by activation in the sympathetic nervous system. The findings could help in the development of new treatments for obesity-related disorders.
A study of Scandinavian Winter swimmers reveals alternating between cold water swimming and hot sauna sessions may affect the way in which brown adipose fat burns energy and produces heat.
Beta2-adrenergic receptors in brown fat cells are responsible for stimulating thermogenesis.
Brown adipose fat (BAT) may help to protect against diabetes and obesity. BAT serves as a key metabolic filter that controls branched chain amino acid clearance, contributing to better overall metabolic health.
Caffeine can promote brown adipose tissue function and improve thermogenesis, helping to burn fat more efficiently.
A new study reports brown fat interacts with secretin, a gut hormone, to signal the feeling of fullness to the brain while eating.
Researchers report brown fat may also help to keep blood sugar in check in healthy adults.
