Early Overfeed-Induced Obesity Leads to Brown Adipose Tissue Hypoactivity in Rats

Background/Aims: Brown adipose tissue activation has been considered a potential anti-obesity mechanism because it is able to expend energy through thermogenesis. In contrast, white adipose tissue stores energy, contributing to obesity. We investigated whether the early programming of obesity by ove...
