Summary

Adipose tissues, which include white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), play an essential role in regulating whole-body energy homeostasis. Recent studies also reveal the presence of a subset of cells in WAT that could be induced by environmental or hormonal factors to become ''brown-like'' cells, and this ''beigeing'' process has been suggested to have strong antiobesity and antidiabetic benefits. More recently, same studies showed that cold stress stimulate the browning of subcutaneous white adipose. However, to the investigators knowledge, there are no direct data that clearly show that cold stress can promote the browning of subcutaneous white adipose.
