Abstract excerpt
Menthol, a TRPM8 agonist and pharmacological cold mimic, activates brown adipose tissue (BAT) to increase adaptive thermogenesis and whole-body energy expenditure. BAT is highly innervated with sensory and sympathetic nerve fibers. There is existing literature that sympathetic nerves have a critical role in regulating menthol's (or cold) effect on energy homeostasis, but there is minimal literature about the...
