Brown adipose tissue: function and physiological significance.
@article{Cannon2004BrownAT, title={Brown adipose tissue: function and physiological significance.}, author={B. Cannon and J. Nedergaard}, journal={Physiological reviews}, year={2004}, volume={84 1}, pages={ 277-359 } }
The function of brown adipose tissue is to transfer energy from food into heat; physiologically, both the heat produced and the resulting decrease in metabolic efficiency can be of significance. Both the acute activity of the tissue, i.e., the heat production, and the recruitment process in the tissue (that results in a higher thermogenic capacity) are under the control of norepinephrine released from sympathetic nerves. In thermoregulatory thermogenesis, brown adipose tissue is essential for… CONTINUE READING
