- Brown adipose tissue (BAT) helps regulate body weight and is negatively associated with body fat, but the relationship between BAT activation and different types of adipose tissue (subcutaneous vs. visceral) is unclear.
- A study involving 40 adult women used infrared thermography (IRT) and cold stimulation to examine how subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) interact with BAT activation.
- Results revealed that women with lower SAT and VAT experienced a significant increase in skin temperature in the supraclavicular area, indicating both types of fat are similarly linked to BAT, suggesting that excess adipose tissue may hinder BAT activation and weight loss efforts in women.
Following the increase in the employment of women in conflicts around the world, the federal government of Brazil enacted a law which determines the participation of women in the military. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of six months of physical training (PT) on the physical fitness of young Brazilian Army cadets to carry out the physical assessments provided in military training. Sixty-eight members of the (19.

Quantifying VAT could estimate the risk of developing Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). This study was designed to determine the VAT cut-off points assessed by DXA associated with MetS in military men.
