Exercise is an important intervention for correction of irregular fat-partitioning and treatment of metabolic dysfunction. There is a large interest in development of non-invasive methods for activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) due to its potential to combat obesity. In this study we have investigated exercise induced BAT activation and IMCL from skeletal muscle of rodents fed with control and high fat diet. Our results show that exercise modulates the brown fat with reduction in fat fraction, increased UCP1 expression and reduction in “white” like adipocytes in control and high fat diet fed rats.
