Summary

Obesity is characterized by excessive white adipose tissue (WAT) that increases risk for disease. About 700 million adults are obese worldwide, designating the need of reducing excessive WAT in humans and subsequently the risk for disease. For this reason, previous research focused on the thermogenic capacity of white adipocytes in response to cold exposure. The investigators aimed to identify whether human WAT thermogenic activation could alter energy homeostasis and subsequently total body weight. The human WAT thermogenic capacity was assessed via Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) examination.
