Heat production in fat tissue, a trait also known as adipose tissue thermogenesis, evolved over two stages in mammals, fully developing in eutherian mammals after the group’s evolutionary ...

A higher volume of epicardial adipose tissue — visceral fat surrounding the myocardium — is associated with an elevated risk ...

Consider the delicate web of fat in a Wagyu steak. The "marbling" that makes carnivore connoisseurs swoon is a visual ...

This innovation likely enabled placental mammals to thrive in new cold environments. Find the study “Two-stage evolution of mammalian adipose tissue thermogenesis” published in Science at: ...

We compared lipid content, fatty acid (FA) composition, and diet estimates from adipose tissue of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) obtained from two collection methods: remote biopsies (n = 138) sampled ...

Around 100 million years ago, a remarkable evolutionary shift allowed placental mammals to diversify and conquer many cold regions of our planet. New research shows that the typical mammalian ...
