This project investigates the role of gut microbiota in improving metabolic health through fat browning during cold exposure and caloric restriction. It aims to uncover mechanisms that could lead to new treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Obesity is a metabolic disorder leading to various health risks and reduced life expectancy.
Insulin resistance is a major obesity related disorder, and a main cause for the onset of type 2 diabetes.
During cold exposure or caloric restriction (CR), brown adipocytes emerge within the white fat (known as “beige” cells).
This process, referred to as fat browning, increases the metabolic capacity of the adipose tissues to combust energy and is seen as promising anti-obesity and anti-diabetic strate…
