Impact of Exercise and Detraining during Childhood on Brown Adipose Tissue Whitening in Obesity.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of childhood exercise and detraining on brown adipose tissue (BAT) whitening in obesity. Four-week-old male Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats ( = 9) and Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats ( = 24) were used as non-obese and obese animals, respectively. OLETF rats were divided into non-exercise sedentary ( = 9) and exercise groups.
