In this episode, we will discuss the benefits of exercise, focusing specifically on its effects on adipose tissue and muscle. We will delve into the role that certain adipokines play, including thermogenesis and the browning of adipose tissue, which can represent significant positive changes for metabolism, health, and overall wellness. Joining us in this conversation are two special guests: Dr. Brunetta from the University of Campinas in Brazil, who holds a Ph.D. degree in Physiological Sciences, and Dr. Townsend, a CIHR Postdoctoral Researcher at McMaster University in Canada.
