New Mechanisms for BAT to Regulate Cardiovascular Health
Kristin I. Stanford (Physiology and Cell Biology, The Ohio State University)
Abstract:
The rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are increasing at rapid rates across the US and worldwide. An important tissue to combat obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, is brown adipose tissue (BAT). Here, we will discuss the role of BAT to combat disease via the release of the lipokine 12,13-diHOME.
Keywords: brown adipose tissue, cardiovascular health, metabolism
