607 Objectives: Dysregulation of endocrine function and disturbed expression profile of
adipokines intimately connect obesity and breast cancer. Brown adipose tissue (BAT), which …

Background There is conflicting results of few published human 18 F-FDG PET/CT studies
about BAT activation in breast cancer (BC). The aim of the study is to evaluate the …

Background Breast cancer is the second most lethal cancer in women. Understanding
biological mechanisms that cause progression of this disease could yield new targets for …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the survival of patients with and without
BAT activity on FDG PET/CT. Methods PET/CT exams from 3937 breast cancer patients …

Objective: Brown fat can exhibit high uptake of fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) on
positron emission tomography (PET) and interferes with interpretation of the scan. The goal …

Purpose Recently brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation has been proposed to have a
possible role in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate BAT activation in …

1585 Background: Two types of adipose tissue exist: white adipose tissue (WAT) and BAT.
WAT is the main energy store in humans and is associated with obesity and inflammation …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) provides a means of nonshivering thermogenesis. In humans,
active BAT can be visualized by 18F-FDG uptake as detected by PET combined with CT …

Dear Sir, Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an extremely annoying issue for most nuclear
medicine physicians, being a potential confounder in the interpretation of 18F-FDG PET …

Background: The effect of various environmental and intrinsic stimulators on the
development of brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been widely investigated by PET-based …
