Such a fun day and very cool to be part of the trainee organizing committee.
Happy moment watching Hadil, who works as an RA in our lab, present our poster on my PhD project about how exercise helps reduce weight regain after GLP-1RA withdrawal.

Jacqueline Beaudry @utoronto.ca and co-workers show that acute exogenous acyl-GIP treatment enhances #lipid handling and fatty acid oxidation by involving brown #fat in rodent models of #obesity.

Here we discuss the article from Sadler et al. The authors aimed to determine whether early-life exercise could mitigate the metabolic impairments associated with low intrinsic CRF

Online now: Shivering, but not adipose tissue thermogenesis, increases as a function of mean skin temperature in cold-exposed men and women
Shivering, but not adipose tissue thermogenesis, increases as a function of mean skin temperature in cold-exposed men and women
Dumont et al. reveal that although heat generated by shivering muscles and by the heart increases based on the degree of cold exposure, heat-producing mechanisms present in adipose tissues like brown and white fat respond in an all-or-nothing fashion. In brown fat, the heat produced likely reflects its thermogenic capacity.

New single-nucleus and spatial datasets offer unprecedented insights into the basis of #obesity associated adipose tissue dysfunction and its reversal by #weightloss and are a key resource for mechanistic and therapeutic exploration www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Selective remodelling of the adipose niche in obesity and weight loss - Nature
An atlas study of adipose tissue in people with obesity undergoing weight loss and their lean counterparts reveals that weight loss reduces cell senescence but cannot reverse all the metabolic problem...
