MJ Vosselman, B Brans, AAJJ van der Lans… - The American journal of …, 2013 - Elsevier
Background: Studies in rodents have shown that brown adipose tissue (BAT) is activated on
food intake, thereby reducing metabolic efficiency. Objective: The current study investigated
whether a single high-calorie, carbohydrate-rich meal activates BAT in lean human adults.
Design: BAT activity was studied in 11 lean adult men [age: 23.6±2.1 y; body mass index
(BMI; in kg/m 2): 22.4±2.1] after consumption of a high-calorie, carbohydrate-rich meal
(1622±222 kcal; 78% carbohydrate, 12% protein, 10% fat). BAT activity during 2 h of mild …
