Brown fat thermogenesis receptor.
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| TT (Normal) | Normal | Normal brown-fat thermogenesis - standard metabolic rate. Keep regular activity and adequate protein. |
| TC (Carrier) | Low impact | Reduced thermogenesis - slightly lower calorie burn and a modest weight-gain tendency. Prioritise resistance training, protein and a lower-glycaemic diet. |
| CC (Variant) | Moderate | Lowest thermogenesis (Arg/Arg) - higher weight-gain tendency and slower metabolism. Emphasise daily activity, strength training, high protein and portion control. |
