The angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) exerts vasorelaxant, anti‐inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. In obesity, its activation counterbalances the adverse cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II mediated by the AT1R. Preliminary results indicate that it also promotes brown adipocyte differentiation in vitro. Our hypothesis is that AT2R activation could increase BAT mass and activity in...

However, obesity disrupts AMPK signaling, contributing to endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to elucidate if a short‐term dietary intervention consisting in replacing the high‐fat diet with a standard diet for 2 weeks could reverse obesity‐induced...
