No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study investigates the brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation and metabolism using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging before and after exercise training intervention at fasting state under normal room temperature and during cold stimulation.The investigators hypothesize that BAT glucose uptake is increased after exercise and BAT becomes metabolically more active.

Understanding the mechanisms of BAT activation and the role of exercise in humans is crucial to combat epidemic of obesity and diabetes.
