Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation limits diet-induced weight gain, increases liver triglycerides and prevents the early signs of cardiovascular disease in mice

A major health challenge going forward will be to harness the power of the sun safely, without risking an increase in skin cancers.Graphical abstract
