Low-dose UV radiation before running wheel access activates brown adipose tissueWhen combined with physical activity, low-dose UVR may more effectively limit adiposity and modulate metabolic and immune pathways in iBAT

Analytical bias in the measurement of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in infantsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to show that the reported 25(OH)D concentration may be influenced by both age and assay type
