Abstract:The discovery of metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human adults and the worldwide increase in obesity and obesity‐related chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) has made BAT a therapeutic target in the last two decades. The potential of BAT to oxidize fatty acids rapidly and increase energy expenditure inversely correlates with adiposity, insulin and glucose resistance, and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Currently, BAT is recognized by a new molecular signature; several BAT‐derived mo… Show more
