  • WEBINAR—Why Is Brown Fat Protective against Metabolic Disease? Exploring UCP1-independent Mechanisms

    2024-01-23

    January 23, 2024 11 a.m. EST Brown adipose tissue (BAT; or “brown fat”) is recognized as a “good” fat with protective effects against cardiometabolic diseases. The best-known function of BAT is thermogenesis by the action of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). For many years, UCP1 was considered to be the sole protein responsible for non-shivering thermogenesis (the process of heat producti…
  • Bariatric Surgery Triggers ‘Substantial’ Weight Loss, Improves Lung Function
    Procedure a possible treatment for obese asthma Rockville, Md. (January 23, 2024)—Bariatric surgery, a surgical procedure to alter the digestive system or reduce stomach size, triggers “substantial weight loss and improves lung function,” according to researchers from the University of Vermont. Researchers also found post-surgery plasma collected from volunteers showed a reduced inflammatory respo…

  • Nose Breathing Lowers Blood Pressure, May Help Reduce Risk Factors for Heart Disease
    Rockville, Md. (January 17, 2024)—More than half of adults living in the U.S. label themselves as “mouth breathers”—breathing primarily through an open mouth. However, according to new research published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, breathing through the nose leads to several benefits, including lower blood pressure and ot…
