But after a while, they generate more heat by burning a special form of fat: brown adipose tissue.

In humans, brown adipose tissue is present at birth and decreases with age.

However, brown adipose tissue is highly specialized for this non-shivering thermogenesis.

Until recently, brown adipose tissue was thought to be primarily limited to infants in humans, but new evidence has now overturned that belief.

The other kind of adipose tissue is brown adipose tissue.

Beta3-Receptors are found in the gallbladder, urinary bladder, and in brown adipose tissue.

Obesity in orexin-knockout mice is associated with impaired brown adipose tissue thermogenesis.

Vagal activation also controls the generation of lipids in brown adipose tissue.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) oxidizes chemical energy to produce heat.

In mice, brown adipose tissue becomes a source of systemic FGF21 after cold exposure.

Thus, being diabetic would help shunt glucose from the blood toward the heat-making pathway of the brown adipose tissue.

In mammals, UCP1 functions within brown adipose tissue to protect newborns against hypothermia.

Researchers are also investigating the possibility of increasing the amount of brown adipose tissue in the body, a site of thermogenesis.

UCP1 is restricted to brown adipose tissue, where it provides a mechanism for the enormous heat-generating capacity of the tissue.

Deiodinase 2 also plays a significant role in thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT).

Along with these behavioral adaptations, this shrew increases its ability to generate body heat during the winter by nonshivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue.

Thermogenin is primarily found in brown adipose tissue, or brown fat, and is responsible for non-shivering thermogenesis.

Eutherial arousal relies on a heat producing tissue, brown adipose tissue, as a mechanism to accelerate rewarming.

Expression of D3 contributes to the development of the brain, skin, liver, bone, ovary, testis, intestine, and brown adipose tissue.

MR is expressed in many tissues, such as the kidney, colon, heart, central nervous system (hippocampus), brown adipose tissue and sweat glands.

In mice betatrophin may be secreted by the liver, white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue.

Brown adipose tissue is found in mammals, and is at its highest levels in early life and in hibernating animals.

Type II present in CNS, pituitary, brown adipose tissue, and heart vessel.

Dr. Lowell and colleagues tested its effect on obesity by creating two strains of mice with greatly reduced amounts of the fat, brown adipose tissue.

PRDM16 acts as a transcription coregulator that controls the development of brown adipocytes in brown adipose tissue.
