Indirect evidence from human studies suggests that brown adipose tissue (BAT)
thermogenesis is fueled predominantly by fatty acids hydrolyzed from intracellular …

Brown adipocytes store metabolic energy as triglycerides (TGs) in lipid droplets (LDs). Fatty
acids released from brown adipocyte LDs by lipolysis are thought to activate and fuel UCP1 …

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of cold on brown adipose tissue
(BAT) energy substrate utilization in vivo using the positron emission tomography tracers …

Lipid droplet (LD) lipolysis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is generally considered to be
required for cold-induced nonshivering thermogenesis. Here, we show that mice lacking …

Current understanding of in vivo human brown adipose tissue (BAT) physiology is limited by
a reliance on positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning …

Elevating energy expenditure via adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is
a potential strategy to reverse obesity. Much early enthusiasm for this approach, based on …

Exposure of humans and rodents to cold activates thermogenic activity in brown adipose
tissue (BAT). This protocol describes a mouse model to study the activation of BAT and …

Human studies suggest that a meal elevates glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue (BAT).
However, in postprandial state the thermogenic activity and the metabolism of non-esterified …

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

Recent studies suggest that brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a role in energy and glucose
metabolism in humans. However, the physiological significance of human BAT in lipid …
