Abstract: | An understanding of the full powers of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is only successively being accumulated. In a paper in Nature Medicine, Bartelt et al. (2011) add further impressive aspects to the potential powers of BAT in the combat against the metabolic syndrome by demonstrating its vast capacity for triglyceride clearance and glucose disposal. |
