Brown adipose tissue has played a key role in prevention research since its presence was first documented in adults. However, there was no non-invasive method of measuring its heat generation. A ...

Although several early anatomical studies suggested that brown adipose tissue is present in adult humans, 7–9 its physiologic relevance was believed to be marginal for most. 9,10 In the past few ...

In addition to undergoing adaptive thermogenesis, brown adipose tissue secretes a number of adipokines that can influence systemic metabolism. In this Review, Villarroya and colleagues discuss the ...

"We now know that the activation of brown adipose tissue could be linked to a feeling of being full," reports Klingenspor. Further studies will now be conducted to prove this.

The amount of brown adipose tissue in humans has been found to be inversely correlated with BMI, a finding that suggests this brown fat could play an important role in protecting against age ...

Researchers have discovered that ACBP protein suppresses brown fat activity, offering new hope for treating cancer-related weight loss and malnutrition.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT), or "brown fat" (also known as "good fat"), can generate heat and metabolize macronutrients (i.e. glucose-heavy foods like honey and dried fruit) by burning calories.

Brown adipose tissue has played a key role in prevention research since its presence was first documented in adults. However, there was no non-invasive method of measuring its heat generation.
