“The beneficial effects of rutin on BAT-mediated metabolic improvement have evoked a substantial interest in the potential treatment for obesity and its related diseases, such as diabetes,” said Wan-Zhu Jin, Ph.D. “In line with this idea, discovery of more safe and effective BAT activators is desired to deal with obesity and its related diseases.”
To make their discovery, Jin and colleagues used both genetically obese mice and mice with diet-induced...
