Summary
This study looks at brown adipose tissue (BAT), a type of body fat that may help burn energy and improve metabolism. Researchers want to understand how BAT works and how it changes when people take a drug called mirabegron. The study involves 100 adults aged 18-40 with a BMI between 18 and 40, including women with PCOS. Participants take pills daily for 4 weeks and undergo tests like scans, exercise tests, and metabolic monitoring to measure changes in BAT activity and overall health.
