Brown Adipose Tissue Activation

Meaning

Brown Adipose Tissue Activation refers to the physiological process of stimulating brown fat cells, or BAT, to increase their metabolic activity and energy expenditure. Unlike white adipose tissue which stores energy, BAT is specialized for non-shivering thermogenesis, a process that generates heat by burning calories. This activation is a key area of research for improving metabolic health and combating obesity. The enhanced thermogenic capacity can positively influence systemic energy balance.
