Skeletal muscle, not adipose tissue, mediates cold-induced metabolic benefits
Abstract
Growing evidence demonstrates the metabolic benefits of repeated cold exposure in humans. Here, we argue that skeletal muscle thermogenesis, rather than the stimulation of thermogenic adipose tissue, is required to elicit these benefits in humans.
