Abstract:ObjectiveThe study objective was to investigate the effect of cold exposure on the plasma levels of five potential human brown adipokines (chemokine ligand 14 [CXCL14], growth differentiation factor 15 [GDF15], fibroblast growth factor 21 [FGF21], interleukin 6 [IL6], and bone morphogenic protein 8b [BMP8b]) and to study whether such cold‐induced effects are related to brown adipose tissue (BAT) volume, activity, or radiodensity in young humans.MethodsPlasma levels of brown adipokines were measured before and … Show more
