Brown Adipose Tissue and Disease: New Insights from Historical Data
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
At birth Perirenal Adipose Tissue (PrAT) exhibits a brown-like phenotype and then becomes phenotypically white with ageing and obesity, potentially contributing to the onset of chronic disease. Little is known about the composition of PrAT in the later years of life and whether it is modulated by different types of disease.
