This article examines the role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in energy metabolism. It discusses the differences between brown and white adipose tissue, the mechanism of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, the accurate measurement of heat production, the role of mitochondrial uncoupling protein, energy balance and the species that have clearly identified BAT.
