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 ...

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 ...

Brown adipose tissue – the main organ generating heat in the body -- is also an endocrine organ that secretes signaling factors that activate the fat and carbohydrates metabolism, report scientists.

A study by the University of Barcelona has identified, for the first time, a molecule that represses the activity of brown adipose tissue. The paper opens new paths to understand why and how the ...

Brown adipose tissue has a protective function against these prevalent diseases, as it burns calories and can produce body heat from fat. But as the body ages, the activity of brown adipose tissue ...

The prevalence of obesity and overweight is increasing rapidly and functional brown adipose tissue (BAT), with its role in energy expenditure, may provide one solution. However, several key ...

"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.

They found that heat production by brown adipose tissue was reduced in Mafb-deficient mice, leading to a decrease in body temperature. Additionally, ...
