"Sympathetic Nervous System Key To Thermogenesis, New Study Suggests"
A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai provides important insights into how the body regulates its production of heat, a process known as thermogenesis that is currently intensely studied as a target of diabetes and obesity treatment in humans. "Our study suggests that perhaps the key to combating the devastating effects of diabetes and obesity in humans is to restore the control of thermogenesis and metabolism by the brain and the autonomic nervous system," said Christoph Buettner, MD, PhD, an associate professor of endocrinology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
