CLAIM CARD
Mechanistically, the evidence points to several pathways through which BAT activation influences cardiometabolic health. In animal models, Eubacterium sp. The topical application of menthol, a pharmacological cold mimic, has been shown to induce cold sensitivity, adaptive thermogenesis, and BAT activation in mice (Sankina 2024). These mechanisms collectively support the biological plausibility linking BAT activation to metabolic improvements.
