Abstract
⺠Brown fat has a clear therapeutic potential for obesity management. ⺠Browning implies the acquisition of brown-fat properties in white adipose tissue. ⺠White adipose tissue browning has been related to decreased adiposity in animal models. ⺠Specific drugs and food compounds are able to induce white adipose tissue browning. ⺠The physiological relevance of browning in humans needs further investigation.
