Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity in humans is linked to better glucose metabolism and cardiometabolic health. In mice, cold exposure increases circulating succinate and enhances BAT thermogenesis, but whether similar succinate responses occur in humans remains undetermined. We analysed data from 33 young (18–25 years), sedentary adults (20 women) from the ACTIBATE cohort (NCT02365129). Plasma succinate was measured enzymati...

Mangroves are a vital ecosystem for coastal biodiversity and climate regulation but face increasing pressure from agriculture and aquaculture expansion. These threats promote high levels of degradation from direct land use change and hidden impacts from aquaculture effluents rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic compounds. We developed a soil health index to detect different stages of mangrove ecosystem degradation by inco...

Purpose While nutritional life cycle assessment (n-LCA) aims to integrate health and environmental sustainability, the compatibility of underlying data and methodological choices remains unclear. So, this study critically evaluates whether nutritional and environmental dimensions are methodologically adequate and aligned in n-LCAs. We assessed the consistency of functional units, system boundaries, data sources, geographic rep...
