Camilla Schéele and Christian Wolfrum present late-breaking research on the physiology of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and its significance in whole body metabolic regulation. They explore the heterogeneity of BAT in adults, its activation influences, and the potential to restore childhood BAT activity. The webinar is part of the Obesity Series 2020, highlighting the complexities of adipose tissue and its implications for obesity and metabolic health.
