Brown fat thermogenesis protein.
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| AA (Normal) | Normal | Normal cold-induced thermogenesis - efficient brown-fat calorie burn. Maintain regular activity. |
| AG (Carrier) | Low impact | Reduced UCP1 expression - slightly lower brown-fat activity. Cold exposure, regular exercise and adequate protein help maintain metabolic rate. |
| GG (Variant) | Moderate | Low brown-fat activity (G/G) - reduced cold thermogenesis and a weight-gain/cold-sensitivity tendency. Prioritise activity, strength training and a lower-glycaemic diet. |
