Brown adipose tissue (BAT) could facilitate weight loss by increasing energy expenditure.
Cold is a potent stimulator of BAT, activating BAT primarily through the sympathetic nervous …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has become a focus of research in the hope of finding a new
target to fight obesity. Metabolic BAT activity can be visualized with 18 F-FDG PET/CT. …

Retrospective studies have shown that outdoor temperature influences the prevalence of
detectable brown adipose tissue (BAT). Prospective studies use acute cold exposure to …

Bromocriptine is a glucose-lowering drug, which was shown to be effective in obese
subjects with insulin resistance. It is usually administered in the morning. The exact working …

Aim The use of metformin has been associated with diffusely increased colonic 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose
( 18 F-FDG) uptake. Interestingly, metformin use is associated with moderate …

Brown adipose tissue is able to increase energy expenditure by converting glucose and fatty
acids into heat. Therefore, BAT is able to increase energy expenditure and could thereby …

Purpose Physiological colonic 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) uptake is a frequent
finding on 18 F-FDG positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT). …

Objective Measurement of brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity is the focus of intensive research,
among others as a potential target for weight-lowering strategies. In this, BAT activity is …

1646 Objectives Metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) could facilitate weight loss
by increasing energy expenditure. Cold is a potent stimulator of BAT, activating BAT …

Background Low-dose aspirin seems to offer no benefit in primary prevention of
cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). The anti-platelet effect may be …
