Cold-activated brown adipose tissue is an independent predictor of higher bone mineral density in women

SUMMARY: In animals, defective brown adipogenesis leads to bone loss. Whether brown adipose tissue (BAT) mass relates to bone mineral density (BMD) in humans is unclear. We determined the relationship between BAT mass and BMD using cold-stimulated Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and dual-energy X...
