  • Title: A new era for brown adipose tissue: New insights into brown adipocyte function and differentiation.
    Author: Vila-Bedmar R, Fernández-Veledo S.
    Journal: Arch Physiol Biochem; 2011 Jul; 117(3):195-208. PubMed ID: 21428723.
    Abstract:
    Until quite recently, brown adipose tissue was considered of metabolic significance only in small mammals and human newborns, since it was thought to disappear rapidly after birth in humans. However, nowadays this tissue is known to play a role in the regulation of energy balance not only in rodents, but also in humans. In this review we highlight new features regarding brown adipose tissue origin and function and revise old paradigms about brown adipocyte differentiation.
