Researchers from Rockefeller University have used artificial intelligence to analyze medical records from over 100,000 cancer patients, finding that those with detectable brown fat were less likely to have type 2 diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, or depression. The study also identified the blood pressure drug losartan as a potential activator of brown fat, raising the possibility of new treatments for metabolic and mental health conditions.
