Energy balance
NEAT is likely to serve as a crucial thermoregulatory switch between energy storage and dissipation that is biologically regulated and influenced by the environment.
Understanding NEAT can help in developing interventions for obesity prevention and treatment.

NEAT is likely to serve as a crucial thermoregulatory switch between energy storage and dissipation that is biologically regulated and influenced, and perhaps over-ridden, by environment.
Why this rating
The abstract presents a comprehensive overview of NEAT's role and regulation.
