Prevalence, Mass, and Glucose-Uptake Activity of (18)F-FDG-Detected Brown Adipose Tissue in Humans Living in a Temperate Zone of Italy

BACKGROUND: The (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG)-detected brown adipose tissue (BAT), is enhanced by cold stimulus and modulated by other factors that still have to be disentangled. We investigated the prevalence, mass, and glucose-uptake activity of (18)F-FDG-detected BAT in a population of adu...
