Luijten, Barbara Cannon, and Jan Nedergaard Abstract Cold- and diet-induced recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and the browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) are dynamic processes, and the recruited state attained is a state of dynamic equilibrium, demanding continuous stimulation to be maintained.

Although it is now accepted that adult humans possess active brown adipose tissue, it has been questioned whether this is genuine classical brown adipose tissue. Two new studies provide evidence that humans, both as babies and adults, do have classical brown tissue and also indicate that there is heterogeneity in the composition of brown fat depots in humans, as in mice (pages 631–634 and 635–639). Figure 1: The gradient of brown adipose in the human neck.
