Cross-over comparative study of cold-induced brown adipose tissue activity in Greenlandic Inuit and Danes: rationale, design, and methodology

Cross-over comparative study of cold-induced brown adipose tissue activity in Greenlandic Inuit and Danes: rationale, design, and methodology

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is essential for non-shivering thermogenesis, a key survival mechanism for Arctic populations exposed to chronic cold. As BAT dissipates energy as heat, it presents a potential target for improving cardiometabolic health and treating obesity. The Arctic Inuit represents a...
