The BATON study aims to develop a new method for accurately measuring human brown adipose tissue volume and thermogenic capacity in vivo. It will investigate how this tissue responds to overfeeding in young healthy adults, providing insights into its role in metabolism and potential implications for obesity management.
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a highly thermogenic tissue whose main function is to produce heat to maintain mammals’ body temperature.
In humans, it has long been believed that BAT is either absent or irrelevant in adults.
However, a decade ago, several independent research groups confirmed the presence of metabolically active BAT in human adults.
In rodents, BAT plays a key role in the adaptation to overfeeding, protecting murine from diet-induced obesity.
Whether this phenomenon also occurs i…
