Abstract in brief

  • Pantothenic acid (PA) was found to activate brown adipose tissue (BAT), which helps increase energy expenditure and fight obesity by upregulating thermogenic proteins like UCP1.
  • In experiments with mice fed a high-fat diet, PA reduced fat accumulation, improved liver health, and enhanced glucose regulation by boosting BAT activity and promoting beige fat formation, mainly through UCP1.
  • The study suggests that PA’s anti-obesity effects depend on UCP1, indicating its potential as a safe and effective treatment for obesity and related metabolic disorders like type II diabetes.]
