...and we scientifically investigate these effects of cold exposure in our clinical studies @BAT_Turku @TurkuPETCentre @InFLAMES_Health with particular focus on Human Brown Fat...
In certain Nordic countries like Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, a long-standing tradition from the early 20th century involves allowing babies to nap outdoors during cold weather.
This custom is based on the belief that exposing infants to fresh air, even in freezing temperatures, can strengthen their immune systems and promote overall health.
In the 1950s, some parents and institutions in the Soviet Union also embraced this practice.
An illustration of this custom can be observed in a 1958 photograph taken in Moscow, depicting a line of infants peacefully sleeping outside in prams, bundled up with blankets and fur hats.

I am excited to share our findings from @TurkuPETCentre that the cold stimulates NAD+ metabolism in humans, and this has relevance to brown fat activation. @BAT_Turku
Cold-stimulated brown adipose tissue activation is related to changes in serum metabolites relevant to NAD+ metabolism in humans dlvr.it/Sw3tjs
Thanks Prof. @EdMelanson4 for visiting us from Colorado, USA. It was a delight to discuss the role of estrogen on brown fat, and also life in general in the beautiful, warm & sunny weather in Turku. 🌞😎 – at Turku, Finland
