The GPR120 agonist TUG‐891 promotes metabolic health by stimulating mitochondrial respiration in brown fat

Abstract Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation stimulates energy expenditure in human adults, which makes it an attractive target to combat obesity and related disorders. Recent studies demonstrated a role for G protein‐coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) in BAT thermogenesis. Here, we investigated the th...
