Thermogenic genes are blunted whereas brown adipose tissue identity is preserved in human obesity

2020-05-08

Abstract excerpt

Obesity associates with a reduction in cold-induced glucose tracer uptake in brown adipose tissue in humans, suggesting loss of thermogenic capacity. We therefore hypothesized that a whitening of BAT occurs in obesity and assessed the molecular characteristics of deep neck BAT in a cohort of 24 normal weight, 24 overweight and 22 obese individuals in comparison with subcutaneous abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT...
