No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is important in energy expenditure through thermogenesis although the regulatory factors are not well known in humans. There is evidence suggesting that the thyroid hormones affect BAT functions in lower mammals, but the effects of the thyroid hormones on BAT activity in humans are still unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of thyroid hormones on glucose metabolism of BAT and other organs in humans.
