Is thermogenesis really needed for brown adipose tissue–mediated metabolic benefit?
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy in the form of heat and functions as a metabolic sink for lipids, glucose, and branched-chain amino acids. Enhanced BAT thermogenesis is thought to tightly couple with beneficial energy metabolism. However, in this issue of the JCI, Huang et al. report a...
