Active Brown Adipose Tissue Is Associated With a Healthier Metabolic Phenotype in Obesity

Carsten T. Herz et al.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found that individuals with severe obesity and active brown adipose tissue (BAT) have a healthier metabolic profile, characterized by lower visceral fat mass, decreased insulin resistance, lower systemic inflammation, and improved nonalcoholic fatty liver disease parameters.

Association between dietary factors and brown adipose tissue volume/18F-FDG uptake in young adults

Lucas Jurado-Fasoli et al.

Summary: This study found a slight association between dietary factors and brown adipose tissue (BAT) volume and F-18-FDG uptake in young healthy adults, with factors such as dietary energy density, alcohol consumption, and dietary patterns showing some correlations with BAT-related variables.

Diurnal variations of cold-induced thermogenesis in young, healthy adults: A randomized crossover trial

Francisco M. Acosta et al.

Summary: The study found that there is no diurnal variation in cold-induced thermogenesis (CIT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity in young healthy adults. The resting energy expenditure (REE) and CIT were similar in the morning and evening, and BAT F-18-FDG uptake also did not show differences throughout the day.

Brown adipose tissue is associated with cardiometabolic health

Tobias Becher et al.

Summary: A retrospective analysis of over 50,000 patients' F-18-FDG PET/CT scans revealed that individuals with brown adipose tissue had lower odds of cardiometabolic conditions. The presence of brown adipose tissue was independently correlated with lower odds of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, congestive heart failure, and hypertension. The beneficial effects of brown adipose tissue were more pronounced in individuals with overweight or obesity, suggesting a potential role in mitigating the deleterious effects of obesity.

Brown Adipose Tissue Volume and Fat Content Are Positively Associated With Whole-Body Adiposity in Young Men-Not in Women

Guillermo Sanchez-Delgado et al.

Summary: This study challenges the belief that human BAT volume is reduced in obese individuals, at least in young adults. The findings suggest that BAT volume may actually be positively associated with adiposity in young men, while BAT mean radiodensity is negatively associated with adiposity in both men and women.

Lower brown adipose tissue activity is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease but not changes in the gut microbiota

Basma A. Ahmed et al.

Summary: The study found that low BAT activity is associated with higher hepatic fat accumulation in human adults, but this relationship does not appear to be mediated through the gut microbiota.

Brown adipose tissue is associated with healthier body fat distribution and metabolic benefits independent of regional adiposity

Andreas G. Wibmer et al.

Summary: The study found that brown adipose tissue (BAT) is associated with lower visceral adipose tissue and higher subcutaneous adipose tissue, which helps reduce central obesity. Additionally, BAT is independently linked to lower blood glucose, improved lipids, and a lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes.
