Both proliferation and lipogenesis of brown adipocytes contribute to postnatal brown adipose tissue growth in mice

Abstract Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is the primary non-shivering thermogenesis organ in mammals, which plays essential roles in maintaining the body temperature of infants. Although the development of BAT during embryogenesis has been well addressed in rodents, how BAT grows after birth remains unkn...
