Impact of maternal melatonin suppression on amount and functionality of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the newborn sheep.

In human and sheep newborns, brown adipose tissue (BAT) accrued during fetal development is used for newborn thermogenesis. Here we explored the role of maternal melatonin during gestation on the amount and functionality of BAT in the neonate. We studied BAT from 6 lambs gestated by ewes exposed to...
