摘要：
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has evolved to generate heat to maintain core body temperature, but it is also of great importance for the regulation of energy balance. In addition to BAT, mammals can induce the formation of "brown adipocyte-like" or "beige" fat cells in white adipose tissue and understanding their regulation could have implications for the treatment of metabolic diseases. © 2013 IBCB, SIBS, CAS All rights reserved.
