- Title
Human Brown Adipose Tissue-A Decade Later.
- Authors
Marken Lichtenbelt, Wouter D.; van Marken Lichtenbelt, Wouter D
- Abstract
Following classical studies on cold acclimation and the related increase of nonshivering thermogenesis (8), studies revealed that BAT amounts can be significantly increased upon a cold acclimation period of only 10 days to 6 weeks (9-12). Another intriguing possibility is that afferent neural signaling from BAT to CNS is important, and, in addition, it may be possible that there is the potential of peptide exchange between BAT and neighboring neurons (19). Cold acclimation recruits human brown fat and increases nonshivering thermogenesis. The recognition of the presence of metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans has boosted a tremendous number of studies in the past 12 years.
