Thermogenesis and metabolic homeostasis work hand in hand, thanks to BAT's proper function. Indeed, BAT can metabolize nutrients, such as glucose and fatty acids, and convert them into heat instead of ATP. This mechanism is called non-shivering thermogenesis, and it is made possible by mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1). Furthermore, proper mitochondrial function and quality are essential for the BAT… Read More

However, BAT's complex composition, lipidic content combined with a high mitochondrial concentration, and low endoplasmic reticulum mass significantly impact metabolic processes. Adipose tissue:… Read More
