Recent work in rodents has demonstrated that basal activity of the local sympathetic nervous
system is critical for maintaining brown adipocyte phenotypes in classic brown adipose …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) could facilitate weight loss by increasing energy expenditure.
Cold is a potent stimulator of BAT, activating BAT primarily through the sympathetic nervous …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has become a focus of research in the hope of finding a new
target to fight obesity. Metabolic BAT activity can be visualized with 18F-FDG PET/CT …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is emerging as a potential target for treating human obesity. It
has been indicated that BAT is rich in innervations of sympathetic nerve control. Using 18 F …

Although it has been believed that brown adipose tissue (BAT) depots disappear shortly
after the perinatal period in humans, PET imaging using the glucose analog 18F-FDG has …

The role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult metabolism is poorly understood. This study
aimed to examine the differential effects of an overnight fast and the postprandial state on …

OBJECTIVE The significant roles of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the regulation of energy
expenditure and adiposity are established in small rodents but have been controversial in …

This study aimed to evaluate the role of positron emission tomography (PET) with [11 C]
PK11195 and [18 F] FDG in the characterization of brown adipose tissue (BAT). Methods …

Context In rodents, cold exposure induces the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and
the induction of intracellular triacylglycerol (TAG) lipolysis. However, in humans, the kinetics …

There is rising interest in recruitment of brown adipocytes into white adipose tissue (WAT) as
a means to augment energy expenditure for weight reduction. We thus investigated the …
