Mind & Matter Adipose Tissue & Body Fat: Obesity, Insulin, Leptin, Fertility, Weight Loss & GLP-1 Drugs | Sean Hartig | 174
Aug 29, 2024
Sean Hartig, an associate professor at Baylor College of Medicine, specializes in adipose tissue and obesity research. He delves into the differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat and the roles of white, brown, and beige adipose tissue. The conversation covers leptin resistance's link to obesity and the impact of GLP-1 drugs on weight loss. Hartig also discusses how insulin resistance and fat dynamics influence reproductive health and the intricate relationship between obesity and inflammation.
