Brown, beige, and white: the new color code of fat and its pharmacological implications.

Annual review of pharmacology and toxicology - 1 Jan 2015

Pfeifer Alexander, Hoffmann Linda S

Abstract excerpt

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) was previously regarded as a special type of fat relevant only for defending hibernating animals and newborns against a cold environment. Recently, BAT has received considerable attention following its (re)discovery in humans. Using glucose tracers, multiple laboratories independently found metabolically active BAT in adults. The enormous metabolic powers of BAT in animal models could...
