The Effects of Nitrate on Brown Fat Fraction and Activation in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomised, Double‐Blind and Placebo‐Controlled Crossover Trial

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia, whereas obesity is a major risk factor which increases morbidity and mortality. Treatments that alter white adipose tissue to express a metabolically active brown adipose phenotype in rats may offer adjunct treatment in people with T2DM.

Exposures in Indoor Air Affecting Health

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 700-719, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Indoor air quality (IAQ) is influenced by a wide range of chemical, biological and physical agents that can negatively impact physical, immunological and mental health. Adverse health effects depend on the type and concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility.

Large Variations in the Transpiration of Sorghum Canopies Under High Evaporative Demand Are Positively Related to Water Use Efficiency

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1544-1560, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Transpiration restriction under high vapour pressure deficit (VPD), measured indoors with individual plants, increases water use efficiency (WUE). However, VPD is not the only factor driving transpiration, individual plants in a field rapidly become a canopy, and reports on the transpiration restriction versus WUE are scant.
