Circulating lactate is being taken up by cold-activated thermogenic adipose tissue in mice - but why? 🔥 Despite 4 decades of research on the role of lactate in brown fat, we still do not really know what lactate is doing inside this tissue 1/4 - source: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...

CBMR's Zach Gerhart-Hines is awarded the first Flemming Quaade Prize for Outstanding Obesity Research for his pioneering discoveries on how fat tissue influences insulin sensitivity, energy expenditure, and appetite control. Read more: cbmr.ku.dk/news/2025/za... #obesity #metabolism

Are you using metabolic tolerance tests in your research? 💉Are you interested in metabolites? Or do you study the effects of exercise? 🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️ 1/4

Are you at the 61st @easdnews.bsky.social meeting this week? And are you working with metabolic and vascular complications of diabetes - or do you just want a brief break from the omnipresent and rapidly progressing developments in pharmacotherapies for obesity and cardiometabolic diseases? 1/3

As the world focuses on its billion-plus obese citizens, there remain people at the other end of the spectrum who are skinny, often painfully so, but don’t want to be. This recent @knowablemag.bsky.social article explores the “real enigma” of a condition. knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

In a world focused on obesity, there remain people who struggle to gain weight. Genetic differences play a role.

If our environment promotes obesity, why do some people stay thin? 🤔 This new popular scientific article by Ute Eberle in @knowablemag.bsky.social delves into this question 👇 1/8 @cbmr.science knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

Can we harness the biology behind weight gain resistance in people living with constitutional thinness to prevent and better treat obesity and cardiometabolic diseases? 👇 @cbmr.science royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Latest publication from the lab spearheaded by @shoreseashell.bsky.social & in collaboration with @zeqiraj.bsky.social is out. Using structural, biochemical & computational tools, this work sheds light on the mechanism of action of BAY-3827 in inhibiting #AMPK 1/3 www.science.org/doi/full/10....

@jphysiol.bsky.social, and several other journals, has a 'Journal Club' format targeted to early-career researchers. It is a great opportunity for young scientists to get started with scientific writing and cultivating independent thinking. Check it out! 1/3

Congratulations to Niclas Rausch, Rebecca L. McIntyre, Fabian Finger & Jens Lund of cbmr.science for winning the #JournalClub 2024 Prize! 📖 🏆 See their winning paper 'Cutting through dogma: a novel tool to dissect lactate biology'⬇️ physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...

Many thanks to @jphysiol.bsky.social for recognizing our contribution to the Journal Club series, where we discussed key considerations in lactate research. We're honored to receive this prize!

Is increased hunger really a primary driver of obesity? In this Letter to the Editor in @nejm.org, Thorkild Sørensen, Mark Friedman and I question the widespread idea that many develop obesity because they overeat 👇 1/5 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... @cbmr.science

"To paraphrase Dwight D. Eisenhower’s aphorism: in research, planning is indispensable, but detailed plans are useless." 👇

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that my first paper as the first author, Food insecurity promotes adiposity in mice, is now published in #ObesityJournal #ObesitySociety doi.org/10.1002/oby.... #Foodinsecurity #Obesity #PhD 1/9🧵👇

".. most in vitro studies rely on culture protocols that create metabolic environments far removed from conditions that cells may face in the body" 👇 Great piece!

Full house! 🚀 Executive Director Professor @juleenrzierath.bsky.social opens Metabolism Day with an introduction to the center for our many external attendees in the audience and livestream. #MD25

Metabolism Day 2025 with >600 in-person and online attendees. Fun to meet so many friends, old and new colleagues in Copenhagen today #MD25 Live stream: www.youtube.com/live/oUi9JU_... Program: eventsignup.ku.dk/metabolismda...

Prof. Ingela Lanekoff at Uppsala gave a masterclass on new technologies taking spatial #metabolomics to new heights, in the second talk of the day before we break for the first poster session #MD25 @cbmr.science

We would like to welcome you to our second International Conference on Brown and Beige Fat March 31st - April 02nd 2025 Top-class speakers, cutting edge research and respected experts will come together in beautiful Bonn. Registration is open! www.trr333.uni-bonn.de/batenergy-sy...

Grateful to @lifemetabolism.bsky.social and @sablesys.bsky.social for support to attend the 'Obesity and Adipose Tissue' Keystone in Banff and present data that challenge my long-held view that overeating is the main driver of high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice. @metabolcenter.bsky.social

Have you seen this obesity conference in beautiful Crete in May? Amazing speakers, amazing location! Hope to see you there!

Our new paper from @clemmensenc.bsky.social @metabolcenter.bsky.social is available online! I briefly summarize here our findings on the effects of short-term overfeeding in mice! We show real time energy expenditure data during and after overfeeding! diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art... 🧵 (1/n)
