Abstract:
Obesity, characterized by the excess accumulation of fat in adipose tissue, poses a significant health risk. Presently, there is growing interest in promoting the browning of white adipose tissue as a strategy to address obesity and metabolic diseases. This article delves into various methods on white adipose tissue browning, encompassing pharmaceuticals, local thermotherapy, exercise, and acupuncture. It provides an overview of the potential mechanisms and effects of these interventions, aiming to offer fresh perspectives on leveraging white adipose tissue browning to mitigate obesity and improve metabolism.
