Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has long been thought to be absent or very scarce in human
adults so that its contribution to energy expenditure was not considered as relevant. The …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a major site of nonshivering thermogenesis in mammals.
Rodent studies indicated that BAT thermogenic activity may protect against obesity. Recent …

The present “obesogenic'environment has favored excessive energy intake resulting in the
current obesity epidemic and its associated diseases. The epidemic has incentivized …

Abstract Purpose of Review New treatment approaches to weight loss and weight loss
maintenance in humans are critical. Given its potential role in stimulating energy …

Context: Recent studies examining brown adipose tissue (BAT) metabolism in adult humans
have provided convincing evidence of its thermogenic potential and role in clearing …

To date, human studies show that brown adipose tissue (BAT) contributes a small yet highly
variable amount to overall energy expenditure. No studies have shown a decrease in body …

We investigated the metabolism of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) in healthy subjects by
determining its cold-induced and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and blood flow …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has attracted scientific interest as an antidiabetic tissue owing to
its ability to dissipate energy as heat. Despite a plethora of data concerning the role of BAT …

Browning of white adipose tissue is a cold-induced phenomenon in rodents, constituted by
the differentiation of a subset of thermogenic adipocytes among existing white adipocytes …

The discovery of functional brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans and the possibility
to recruit beige cells with high thermogenic potential within white adipose tissue (WAT) …
