Microprotein increases appetite in mice
Obesity and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, are extremely common in the United States.
Researchers Identify a Key Enzyme That Controls White-to-Brown Fat Conversion
Researchers have identified a key enzyme which catalyzes the degradation of a potent activator of beige fat biogenesis.
Vitamin B5 May Help Weight Loss by Turning on Brown Fat
Pantothenate acid, also known as vitamin B5, stimulated the production of brown fat in both cell cultures and mice, a new study finds. “[B5] has therapeutic potential for treating obesity and type II diabetes,” researchers conclude. The study was chosen as an APSselect article for July.
Cold temps may help to combat obesity and related metabolic diseases by reducing inflammation, researchers find
Researchers report that exposure to cold temperatures resolved obesity-induced inflammation while improving insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice.
