Abstract

The thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in response to cold is relatively well established in humans. Several hormones and factors are involved in this response, and Lee et al. (2014) now provide evidence for a role of irisin and FGF21 in BAT thermogenic activity in humans.
