Optical visualisation of thermogenesis in stimulated single-cell brown adipocytes

Abstract The identification of brown adipose deposits in adults has led to significant interest in targeting this metabolically active tissue for treatment of obesity and diabetes. Improved methods for the direct measurement of heat production as the signature function of brown adipocytes (BAs), par...
