          The Brain Remembers Cold: How Memories Drive Metabolism

          New research reveals that the brain stores memories of cold experiences, which can later trigger metabolic responses in anticipation of cold environments. Mice trained to associate visual cues with cold temperatures began to increase their metabolism when shown those cues—even at room temperature.

          Time of Day May Determine the Amount of Fat Burned by Exercise

          Researchers say that late-morning exercise may be more effective in boosting metabolism and burning fat than late-evening exercise. The findings could prove valuable to those who are overweight and looking to lose fat by implementing an exercise program.

          Alzheimer’s Disease Causes Cells to Overheat and ‘Fry Like Eggs’

          The heat produced by amyloid-beta aggregation may cause other, healthy amyloid-beta to aggregate, causing more and more aggregates to form. However, with the addition of a novel drug compound, amyloid-beta aggregation can be stopped and the cell temperature lowered.

          Why brown fat is good for people’s health

          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.

          Gene that Lets You Eat As Much As You Like Holds Promise Against Obesity

          Removing the RCAN1 gene in mice reduced weight gain, even when the animals were fed high fat diets for prolonged periods of time. Researchers say the findings could help develop new treatments to help prevent obesity in humans.
