The notion that brown adipose tissue (BAT) in mice or humans maintains energy balance by burning off excess calories seems incompatible with evolutionary biology. Studies in obese rats and mice lacking UCP1 indicate that diet-induced thermogenesis by BAT is unlikely.
棕色脂肪组织(BAT)在小鼠或人类中通过燃烧多余的卡路里来维持能量平衡的观点似乎与进化生物学不符。在肥胖大鼠和缺乏 UCP1 的小鼠中的研究表明,BAT 引起的饮食诱导的产热不太可能。
