Brown fat generates heat via the mitochondrial uncoupling protein UCP1, defending against
hypothermia and obesity. Recent data suggest that there are two distinct types of brown fat: …

Virtually all tissues in the human body rely on aerobic metabolism for energy production and
are therefore critically dependent on continuous supply of oxygen. Oxygen is provided by …

<p id="p001">Using positron-emission tomography (PET), we found that cold-induced glucose
uptake was increased by a factor of 15 in paracervical and supraclavicular adipose tissue …

… There was no statistically significant difference in QOL between groups (P = .85) and no
treatment-related mortality. At 5 years the overall morbidity rate was 19% (n = 23) for sleeve …

… versus 2.8 ± 0.7 μmol/100 g/min, p = 0.002), but these effects remained lower than in BAT
(p = 0.003 and p = 0.01, subcutaneous WAT and VAT, respectively). The subjects who lacked …

… The global Kruskal-Wallis P values are shown above each graph. The P values for all
pairwise comparisons, as indicated by the symbols, were done by Bonferroni-Holm–corrected …

Context and Objective: Ectopic fat accumulation within and around the myocardial wall has
been implicated in the pathogenesis of heart disease in obesity. We evaluated myocardial …

… were lower in obese than in nonobese subjects (P < 0.01). Compared with nonobese, the
obese … higher in visceral fat depots than in sc regions (P < 0.01). Both sc and visceral adipose …

… after LRYGB (8% vs 24%;P = .04). Esophagitis was more prevalent after LSG (31% vs 7%;P
< .001) with no statistically significant difference in BE (4% vs 4%;P = .29). The overall …

Positron emission tomography permits noninvasive measurement of regional glucose uptake
in vivo in humans. We employed this technique to determine the effect of FFA on glucose …
