This project investigates how to activate brown adipose tissue (BAT) to increase energy expenditure in humans. It explores the effects of cold exposure and natural compounds like allyl-isothiocyanate and capsaicin on BAT activation in both healthy and obese individuals.
Obesity is the result of a mismatch between energy intake and energy expenditure.
Part if excess calories will end up as fatty acids.
The excess lipid will interfere with normal glucose homeostasis resulting in diabetes and other complications.
