The Role of Brown Fat and Circadian Rhythms
(gethealthspan.com)
Circadian rhythms regulate numerous physiological processes, including metabolism, and their disruption is increasingly linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic disorders. Concurrently, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has emerged as a key player in metabolic health, capable of burning calories through thermogenesis and significantly influencing glucose and lipid metabolism. Recent evidence indicates that BAT activity is strongly influenced by circadian timing, exhibiting diurnal fluctuations that peak in the morning.
