Abstract
⺠Function of BAT can be measured using PET technique. ⺠Functional activity of BAT is increased during stimulation, e.g. during cold exposure. ⺠BAT is an insulin-sensitive tissue type. ⺠Intracellular lipid storage is the primary energy source in BAT during stimulation. ⺠In obesity metabolic balance and BAT functional activity seem to be related.
